Re: Trying to submit a comment to Typepad Blog using Perl Mechanize

The problem is that it works *sometimes*. This I do not understand. Why does it work sometimes? Is it my script or is it Typepad?

You need to examine the response to figure out why, but you shouldn't use cgi-lib.pl, it is a genuine antique. use CGI instead ( or CGI::Simple...).

I know it is antique, but it is a small lib and loads quicker and I'm looking for speed here. As it is it takes a few seconds to respond. Anyone have any other suggestions on how to do this?	[reply]

So you prefer hitting yourself over the head with a rock , because it is faster than taking an aspirin? cgi-lib was already outdated/broken for years when it was retired 10 years ago. CGI::Simple is faster than CGI	[reply]
