Matt™ has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks, Need your Help!

I am using Mechanize to automate this URL https://sjobs.brassring.com/TGWebHost/searchresults.aspx?partnerid=25510&siteid=5136. but I am not getting the full contents( jobs available there)of that page while saving. I think some cookie issue or something is there, but i cant find(figure) it out. Pls suggest Monks. Looking for your help! Thanks in advance Monks.

Matt™

Pls find the code below, 

 use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize;

my $search_url = "https://sjobs.brassring.com/TGWebHost/searchresults.
+aspx?partnerid=25510&siteid=5136";

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( );
print "\nChecking: $search_url ...\n";

eval{
    $mech->agent_alias('Mac Safari');
    $mech->get($search_url);
    };

if ($@) {
    print "Error connecting to URL $search_url.\n($@)\n";
    exit(1);

    The URL seems to work fine without cookies. The data is just stored in a bit awkward way (as HTML-escaped JSON in an attribute of a <param> tag). Look at the source of the downloaded HTML file and see for yourself.
