Re: Filling out a form on password page

Have a look at WWW::Mechanize. It can help you with the authentication/form part.

An example for simple form-filling:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use WWW::Mechanize;

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
my $page = "http://www.heise.de/newsticker/";

$mech->get($page);
$mech->form_number('2');
$mech->field('T' => 'SCO');
my $results = $mech->submit();
print $results->content(), "\n";

How can this be when the URL I am using has atleast one form?	[reply] [d/l]
