Maybe now is a good time to learn how HTTP works?

In short, all this "form input" does not exist over the network. WWW::Mechanize (for example) hides the transformations from you, which is why it is usually recommended to be used when simulating a browser.

Also, when http://search.cpan.org is down, there also is https://metacpan.org/, and also CPAN (modulename).

    Will HTTP still work if it is a HTTPS webstie?

      Maybe HTTPS provides the information you need?
