wait through this page and then scrape the content from the final page

Loop

do {
    $mech->follow_link(tag=>'meta');
} until ThisIsThePageIWant( $mech );

print $mech->content(format => 'text');

My problem is that I really don't understand these requests enough to determine how I should modify my code to make it send the right requests

Read Ovid's CGI Course

$ perl -MWWW::Mechanize -le " print WWW::Mechanize-> new->get( shift )
+->request ->as_string" http://example.com
GET http://www.iana.org/domains/example/
Accept-Encoding: gzip
User-Agent: WWW-Mechanize/1.68
[download]

Do you see the connection? GET is GET

GET /tools/primer-blast/primertool.cgi?ctg_time=1310519679&job_key=JSI
+D_01_116688_130.14.24.201_9000 HTTP/1.1

The key issue is extracting the whole URL or just job_key and ctg_time from content (meta or wherever)
