in thread Perl for automated web browsing?

Unfortunately the site I'm using does use Javascript. For example, the login control is Javascript. So I guess Mechanize is out?

    Even with Javascript, it's still just http GET's and POST's between the client and the server. Either read the Javascript and figure out what needs to be sent and/or use something like FireFox's Live HTTP Headers plugin to see what is being sent when you're navigating the site, and then send those requests yourself using WWW::Mech or LWP::UserAgent.
