how to fake http

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

I checked here and couldn't find anything. I am using www::mech and wondering how it would be possible to fake the referer ENV.

I was thinking I could manually set $ENV{'http_referer'} = "test"; but that didn't quite work out.

Take a look at perldoc WWW::Mechanize, specifically the add_header method. Update: Doh! Fixed the link, thanks ikegami. All dogma is stupid.	[reply] [d/l]
