    To fake the javascript, you read it , and figure out what it does. Then do those actions in perl (or ignore them if you don't care.) In this case it might look like code that follows , but it all depends on what the javascript does.

    $agent->submit_form( form_name => 'hidden_form', fields => { 'newfield1' => 'val1', 'newfield2' => 'val2' }, );
      This is what the javascript looks like, how do you think I can fake it.
      function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) { var theform = document.Home; theform.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget; theform.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument; theform.submit(); }
