I'm not sure about that. The javascript does more than form processing, it also manipulates the data and sets a couple inputs before submitting the form. I have tried HTTP::Recorder and WWW::Mechanize, but HTTP::Proxy had some problems and didn't work.

    It doesn't matter what the JavaScript does. All that matters is what eventually gets sent back to the server after the JavaScript finishes. That can be captured and tested with Mechanize, since it's just an HTTP request like any other.
