Re: ASP postBack from Perl?

[id://wataguy], can you help us by saying what "no joy" means? That is, is Perl throwing an error, is the page not liking your request, etc.? I personally don't have an example ASP page I could try your code on, so by providing more information, you may be able to help other monks help you. Thank you.

Update: By the way, to other people looking at this node, the modules the OP is using are LWP::UserAgent and HTTP::Request::Common. Perhaps this is clear to those who work with such things more often, but it is good to know nonetheless.

Sorry about the long reply lag — I really am in Phnom Penh, and time zone differences, and sometimes spotty net access, take their toll. The page I'm trying to grab is `http://icasualties.org/oif/Details.aspx`. By default, this gives you the most recent 20 names; I'd like to grab all of them at once. So what I really want to do is get the page, extract the total casualty count, and reload the page with the entire casualty list on it. Anyway, when I try my code, I just get back the original page with 20 names on it; that's what I meant by "no joy"	[reply] [d/l]
