in thread How to make Perl modify and trigger Javascript variable/function

If you can make the site work under FireFox, WWW::Mechanize::FireFox has the ->eval_in_page() method that allows you to run arbitrary Javascript in the context of a web page and transfer the result back to Perl. But it only works in FireFox, not in Internet Explorer.

    Thanks for the suggestion - unfortunately the site doesn't work under Firefox - I even tried Firefox add-on UserAgent switcher to fake it.

    I don't know much about Javascript so I guess a bit of toil!

    I have found things like WWW:Selenium which sounds interesting (but haven't tried yet)
