in reply to HTTP::request How "wait" ?

The interim page you're getting is likely to have some refresh timer that instructs the browser to reload the page after some time, just to give the server time to perform the evaluation. I'm saying "reload" but you could actually be redirected somewhere else, just look inside the META tags at the beginning of the interim page, you'd find something related to it.

For this kind of automated stuff, however, a look to WWW::Mechanize is worth the time, even if I don't know if it's able to automate this aspect as well.

Update: more on http-equiv and refresh here.

Flavio (perl -e 'print(scalar(reverse("\nti.xittelop\@oivalf")))')

Don't fool yourself.

    Thanks for your two answers, I'll read documents and try to give some milestones in this projetcs ;) This is an interim page, sure. The server create a report page for each user request. In the Interim page, it's Javascript code. With a Bar Progress. When the Bar Progress ends, the interim page load the report page. I have to read if the associated URL is a specific one or not. If I get the answer, I'll post my code :) Thanks guys :) Vinzzz - Litle Perl Padawan -
