Re^2: automated form processing with cookies

Actually this isn't mine, it's for a client who wants this done. I'm pretty sure this is his site but he/she said it's not spam and that's enough for me.

That is interesting that Perl can handle only 8192 forms in one session. That doesn't make so much sense to me why there would be a limitation, but it's not like it's a common thing to submit to this many anyway. What could be done as a workaround is submit to the first script then link to the second one after the first half is completed. The second script would initiate the login procedure again and complete the rest.

Then if it's their site tell them that this is a really brane dead way to go about doing things and that they'd be much better served by using approach Y rather than BFI approach X. If you get the job done for them better / faster / more efficiently (and it's really legit) they'll be more likely to use your services again. -- We're looking for people in ATL	[reply]

"...but he/she said it's not spam and that's enough for me." The quote below came to mind right after reading your comment... "...then I ram my ovipositer down your throat and lay my eggs in your chest - But I'm not an alien!" -Tom Servo (MST3K: The Movie) I'm somewhat deranged, though, so you're probably fine taking this person's word for it.
