Detail please.... exactly what are you trying to accomplish by that? Are you submitting a form to a website? Are you serving a form to an external user from a web server?

Hello and welcome.

Please use a more descriptive title. This section is for Perl questions. We expect Perl questions so a question titled: perl question doesn't tell us much and (in this case) is exactly the same as someone else's from earlier today. So when monks try to assist you it will be hard to track down replies to your post.

A couple of things to help you make the most of your time and posts here:

See the Mechanize family of modules. For example, Win32::IE::Mechanize or WWW::Mechanize::Firefox. Alternatively,you might want to skip the "browser" part alltogether.
