Another solution is <a href="http://wiki.github.com/bard/mozrepl">MozRepl</a>, a FireFox plugin that allows you to interact with websites using JavaScript and Ajax.
<p>
Luckily, there is a Perl interface for [cpan://MozRepl] on CPAN.

I have also used Selenium and [cpan://WWW::Selenium]. They are really excellent products and indeed deserving of a much larger cookbook.

One project to watch is <a href="http://seleniumhq.org/projects/bromine/">Bromine</a>. It's a web front-end for driving Selenium test cases. Unfortunately, it only officially supports Java and PHP, but there are reports of people using it with Perl test cases. The project is in its infancy and could use some attention.
