in reply to LWP versus Wget

Form filling will be tricky with wget. But the rest is possible.

With wget, you're limited to whatever processing you can do by pipeing output to another program. With LWP, you have all of Perl available to work on the data. In many situations, wget is enough, but LWP is there when it's not.
