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); } my $filename = 'OUTPUT.html'; $mech->save_content( $filename ); die;

    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.

      Thanks Moritz, hope it will help me.
