in reply to Filling in a form on a web page using perl

You might want to try to use WWW::Mechanize instead.. it can make this type of thing extremely easy:
use WWW::Mechanize; use strict; use warnings; my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new; my $sequence = '...'; $mech->get('http://www.arabidopsis.org/Blast/'); $mech->submit_form( form_name => 'myForm', fields => { 'Algorithm' => 'blastx', 'BlastTargetSet' => 'ATH1_pep', 'QueryText' => $sequence, }, ); print $mech->content;
Note: your code had 'Algorithem' but the actual field element is 'Algorithm'
