remote test of website

cosmicsoup has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Monks,

I would like to be able to create a perl utility that would login to any given website, choose a link, enter some text and then log out of the website. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Louis

You can write automated tests (using the standard Perl Test::* conventions) with Test::WWW::Mechanize. http://search.cpan.org/~petdance/Test-WWW-Mechanize-0.99/Mechanize.pm There are also a lot of useful articles how to use WWW::Mechanize linked in the module documentation.	[reply]
