In Windows, Win32::IE::Mechanize is surely the simplest way.

    Ikegami,
    Thanks for the response that does look like its in the right neck of the woods. Would you be able to explain why Win32::IE::Mechanize would address my issue in comparison with WWW::Mechanize?
    Win32::IE::Mechanize requires libwin32 which does not seem trivial to install at all and it sounds like it requires a windows C/C++ compiler to make some of the dependancies.

    Regards Paul

      WWW::Mechanize adds HTML parsing to LWP's understanding of HTTP. Neither understands JavaScript. Win32::IE::Mechanize, on the other hand, is an interface to Internet Explorer. It asks IE to fetch a page and process it, including any JavaScript in it.

      Do a search of this site for Mechanize and/or JavaScript to read more on the subject.

        Thanks again Ikegami,
        Took me a few hours, but its all working with Win32::IE::Mechanize now.... very nice =P

        Regards Paul.
