in reply to Perl to automate CGI query?

You can create a request easily using HTTP::Request::Common's POST. The resulting object would be passed to LWP::UserAgent.

There is also WWW::Mechanize.

    I wanted to come back and say thanks... I tried the LWP method first with no success, but www::mechanize was perfect. I was quite pleased when one of the NASA techs showed a graph with a big spike in it for data downloads... didn't want to tell them it was all due to my script... :)
