Hello monks!
I'm new to Perl and I'm having my first serious problem:
I have a website with a textarea in it and I want to write a script to recursively fill the textarea of the website and submit the data, without me having to copy-paste the data each time in the textarea.
Are there any modules I could look or something easier you can suggest?
The form in the website uses POST method to send the data and it is something like the following as viewed in the html source (I entered TTTTTTTTTTTTTTT in the textarea as an example of data the user can send):
<form action="show_res.php" method="post"><div>
    <textarea name="context" rows="10" cols="60">TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT</tex
+tarea>
    <input name="appid" value="Hub-Finder" type="hidden">
    <input value="Submit" type="submit">

Thanks!
