Re^3: LWP::Simple... Enough for Site Query & Data Download?

Go through the docs a little more carefully. You're printing the mech object, not the forms. Try this instead-

use WWW::Mechanize;
use YAML ();
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();

$mech->get( "http://bub2.meteo.psu.edu/wxstn/wxstn.htm" );
print YAML::Dump [ $mech->forms ];
[download]

Next stop: the docs for HTML::Form.

Unfortunately I get the error, C:\Perl\scripts>perl -wc foo.pl Can't locate YAML.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/site/lib C:/Perl/lib .) at foo.pl line 6. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at foo.pl line 6." when I run this code..?	[reply]

This command returned "Can't find any package that provides YAML." Since I'm using Windows, I just opened the package manager and installed the very last package, "YAML - libYAML." This was successful, but the same error msg is still received when I try to run my code..?	[reply]

Sorry about that. I forget it's not a core module. Try this. `use WWW::Mechanize; use Data::Dumper; $Data::Dumper::Terse = 1; my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(); $mech->get( "http://bub2.meteo.psu.edu/wxstn/wxstn.htm" ); print Dumper($mech->forms);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
