Hi I am trying to extract data from a website and I am using LWP:useragent for it. 
use LWP::UserAgent;
  my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
  $ua->agent("MyApp/0.1 ");
  $ua->proxy('http', 'my proxy');

  # Create a request
  my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'http://dtcc.com/products/derivs
+erv/data_table_iv.php');
  $req->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
  $req->content('query=libwww-perl&mode=dist');

  # Pass request to the user agent and get a response back
  my $res = $ua->request($req);

  # Check the outcome of the response
  if ($res->is_success) {
      print $res->content;
  }
  else {
      print $res->status_line, "\n";
  }

The way the dtcc site is that there is an agree/decline form and it displays the data upon clicking the agree button. I want to extract the data and parse it but my problem is that the script is extracting the agree/decline page but not the data page. Is there a way for me to automate clicking on agree button so that I can extract the data on the second page.
