in reply to Perl on Windows project direction

A first question which needs to be answered is: What kind of data can be picked up by the "Linux Web ISP platform website (with PHP)"?

It is all nice and dandy to want to FTP a file over to the Linux machine, if there is no FTP-server listening that scheme will not work.

If everything else fails, you can still write a PHP-webpage which offers a form that can be remotely filled in by WWW::Mechanize

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

    Wow! Thanks to all for excellent direction! I thank you all for considering a question in this format. It will let me start off on the right foot. Since I'm partial to PHP and have html forms running the front end of this application I'm going to look at WWW::Mechanize to start with.. Thanks Monks!

    Thing were going ok but I'm stopping for the night after some issues.

    I'm using ActiveState and from what I can see they don't have WWW:Mechanize. They have WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller. I'm confuse cuz I thought FormFiller was subset of Mechanize

    But I get an error:
    Can't locate www/Mechanize.pm in @INC.

    So I was using Mech Formfiller and LWP::UserAgent ; FF was working ok and return a complet 'GET' statement but LWP was complaining about

    Can't locate object method "Request=HASH(0x1cb5f94)" via package "HTTP"

    Formfiller was returning a full Get statement and just needs a service to run it.



    sleepy.
