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

I would like to write a script that logs into games.com and performs a few things. I did search on search.cpan.org for an API to games.com but unfortunately it seems as if one does not exist (yet).

Would you, oh wise monks =), guide me on what I need to read to find out how to login to a type of form found at http://www.games.com/playgames/login.jsp ?

Any input greatly appreciated

    Have you looked at WWW::Mechanize ? It's based on LWP. (caveat emptor: i didn't really look at the actual games.com site -- you may run into issues if there's really heavy javascript stuff)
