Re^2: get with LWP drops HTML

Thanks all, for all of the info.

I've tried using wget for some sample pages and the code-dropping does not seem to be present there. It would still be nice to use Perl to go through all of the forms I need, but I am trying now to just find a solution to get the data I need using a hack with the incomplete data from LWP to generate WGET commands.

It would still be nice to know for future reference what the hell is going on though!

Thanks, I've tried Mechanize already (along with changing the user-agent and countless other helpful suggestions). Still has the same problem. Blarg!	[reply]
