"Probably" ... but it depends on the context. Where does the webpage come from? What is rendering the webpage? Where does Perl fit into the system? You could be talking about having a proxy server, written in Perl, that modifies a page before it gets to the browser. You could be talking about a bot written in Perl that interacts with a website without a browser being involved. You could be talking Perl embedded in the server side application. How you would go about this would depend on what you are actually trying to achieve.	[reply]

Webpages don't have "controls" :)	[reply]

The "Control types" section of the HTML recommendation disagrees with you.	[reply]
