Re: URGENT: libwww-perl: automated form filling
I have the same problem here. I have posted to perl.misc and libwww
mailinglist without any success. However, the answers are positive, and
lots people mentioned to have a go on the module CGI.pm.
Please have a look at the following form:
https://registry.connect.com.au/cgi-bin/na_create.cgi
It woule be great if I can use perl to automate it.
