For all such work there are lots of packages like:
1. WWW::Mechanize : This is the best module for this kind of task. You can use it for almost all kind of websites except extensive dynamic websites where pages are created with request at run time, while if you can find the input parameters then you can use this module and believe me I've used WWW::Mecahnize for all my tasks till now.
2. LWP: This is the parent classs of WWW::Mechanize and only difference is that here you have to create your own modules for some of the operations whicha are already created in WWW::Mechanize, but since this is the parent so you can use it in any way.
3. WWW::Mechanize::Firefox: Best for dynamic websites means where javascript is widely used to generate pages, where automation is very complex with simple WWW::Mechanize.
4. WWW::Scripter: another WWW::Mechanize-workalike with Javascript support.
Please go through cpan and you might found more URLS for your task, but if you'll ask anyone then these four are the best packages referred for this kind of work.
I hope this one will help you or let me know if you've any more queries.
