Re: WWW::Mechanize Post Method

I'm not sure what "javascript monitoring proxy program" you are using, but the output does not look like valid Perl.

Maybe you meant the HTTP::Request constructor method POST, but you don't show any more relevant code. Check the top of your script for a line like use HTTP::Request;. And even then, the generated line should look more like :

  $request = HTTP::Request->new( POST => ... );

So to me, it seems like your "javascript monitoring proxy program" doesn't really produce direct Perl code.

Thank you for your help, i located the error. The code `$request = new HTTP::Request(POST "http://www.abc.com/ChooseZone.aspx? +type=A" , [ '__EVENTTARGET' => "rdlZone_0", '__EVENTARGUMENT' => "", '__VIEWSTATE' => "dDw0NzUyO", 'rdlZone' => "1", ] );` [download] has been changed to `$request = new HTTP::Request('POST'=> "http://www.abc.com/ChooseZone.a +spx? +type=A" , [ '__EVENTTARGET' => "rdlZone_0", '__EVENTARGUMENT' => "", '__VIEWSTATE' => "dDw0NzUyO", 'rdlZone' => "1", ] );` [download] It was a matter of changing POST to 'POST'=> Thank you for your help	[reply] [d/l] [select]

It was a matter of changing POST to 'POST'=> For future reference, note that the `=>` operator is just like the comma, except it does automagic quoting of its left-hand-side. This is made exactly for the case you've shown, to eliminate the need for quoting. In other words, your line could be written as: `$request = new HTTP::Request(POST => "...", [ __EVENTTARGET => "rdlZone_0", __EVENTARGUMENT => "", __VIEWSTATE => "dDw0NzUyO", rdlZone => "1", ] );` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
