    I think I understand the example-- it does "eval" on some Javascript and passes the results back to the script that contains the eval statement, yes?

    But for my original example, I don't see what code I would have to eval, such that I actually cause the Javascript to do what it would do if I were to click on it with a mouse. The ultimate goal is to have a Perl script cause the same behavior in the browser as the mouse does.

    Apologies if I seem really dense here, this web stuff is definitely not my forte.
