Any answer of value requires actual information on what type of information you require. A site may be generated by a Java-based server, but at the client side, the browser parses html+JavaScript+CSS, nothing more, and for that you can use any of the relevant LWP:: or WWW:: modules If the information is generated via Java applet, you need to access the Java Bytecode that the user agent downloads, and then work with it. An actual Java tool would be better than a Perl one in this case. Software speaks in tongues of man. Stop saying 'script'. Stop saying 'line-noise'. We have nothing to lose but our metaphors.	[reply]

You have not given us a clear enough picture of what you are trying to do, you may want to read How do I post a question effectively?. If you mean a module like WWW::Mechanize which supports JavaScript you may want to look at Mozilla::Mechanize or Win32::IE::Mechanize. If this is not the case please update your question with more information. Hope this helps Martin	[reply]
