You can use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox (as its engine do run javascript; your program will depend on the browser) or read javascript manually and write some Perl logic which does the same by parsing values from the page source.

You can also try WWW::Scripter (and WWW::Scripter::Plugin::JavaScript) or WWW::Mechanize::Plugin::Ajax.

Myself, I prefer reading JS manually and writing same logic in Perl. It leaves my scripts simple whan I'm working with small and simple sites.

Sorry if my advice was wrong.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
