Open file and formfill

[fame]

I have a question.. I have perl bot thats uses IRC. One of the functions that I have it do upon a command is it opens a file with random emails and fills the form on a website.

This is how I have it read the file and select a random line.

open FILE, "emails.txt" or die "Error Opening: Cannot open file!";
@emails = <FILE>;
close FILE;
$email = $emails[int(rand($#emails + 1))];

This is how I have it form fill.

my $agent = WWW::Mechanize->new( autocheck => 1 );
my $formfiller = WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller->new();
$agent->env_proxy();
$agent->get('http://www.somewebsite.com');
$agent->form_number(2);
$agent->current_form->value("email", "$email");

My problem is this: When it fills the form, it fills in the email address and the return html coding will look something like this:

name="email" id="email" value="[e-mail]

" size="35" maxlength="255" class="formFld" />

The email address is entered within the " " and then for some reason jumps to a next line like above. I need it for when it fills the form that it stays all on the same line within the " ". Example:

name="email" id="email" value="[e-mail]" size="35" maxlength="255" class="formFld" />

Does anyone have a solution for me? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks

Hi,

It looks like you've got some newlines in your $email. Check for this and, if they are there, remove them before proceeding.

A simple regex should do the trick. I leave that to you.
