I'm the author of HTML::TreeBuilderX::ASP_NET. It was brought to my attention that mst was trash talking me and my module in a channel I'm banned from (because he won't let an op unban me). Logs are as follows:

06:59 <go|dfish> you're being badmouthed in #Perl
06:59 <go|dfish> lol
07:00 <go|dfish> 12:58           mst │ Phurl: yeah, do note that the author of that module is banned from, well, everywhere
07:00 <go|dfish> 12:58           mst │ Phurl: the guy who wrote ::ASP_NET
07:00 <go|dfish> 12:58         Phurl │ what module? the asp one?
07:00 <go|dfish> 12:58         Phurl │ it sux
07:00 <go|dfish> 12:58           mst │ right
07:00 <go|dfish> 12:59           mst │ he's a known troll
07:00 <go|dfish> 12:59         Phurl │ god
07:00 <go|dfish> 12:59         Phurl │ even the synopsis is bad
07:00 <go|dfish> >_<
07:04 <go|dfish> oh man, harsh.
07:04 <go|dfish> 13:00           mst │ please don't think anything produced by that fucktarded sack of shit is "normal" Moose code :)

Anyway, this module uses HTTP::Request::Form which uses HTML::TreeBuilder which currently has a bug in it. Otherwise, this would be a /very/ simple process.
A test case in the works is at http://gist.github.com/188669, essentially HTML::TreeBuilder doesn't associate the __EVENT* with the form so I can't generate a proper request without that data.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
