sublow has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have attempted to automate posting info to a form on a remote website but keep getting a response (mostly in german) saying "your system can probably not handle *.asp files".

A similar program using LWP with the GET method works fine for a separate website but I seem to remember reading somewhere that LWP doesnt work with .asp sites. Is this true? If so, is there a way around the problem as I have hundreds of proteins to scan and cutting and pasting this info into my browser takes far too long!

Any ideas would be gratefully received.
