in reply to Webbot with Perl for Factiva data collection

It appears you're running the script on windows. If so, probably the easiest way to make javascript work is to replace WWW::Mechanize with Win32::IE::Mechanize

There are other options, see the answers in LWP and Javascript

    I've tried to use Win32::IE::Mechanize and it seems to give me other problems so that it still doesn't work (meaning I can't get throught the authentication process). I will take a look at the LWP and Javascript, thanks.
