Sounds (to me) like the 5 year old who "wants a pony" but doesn't want to have to feed or groom it, or muck out the stall.

If you don't want to "know html or javascript," how are you going to deal with unexpected output -- if that happens and it's likely to -- from the script you're supposedly interested in writing?

Does "the page's content's form" mean that you believe (mistakenly, if so) that all web content is contained in forms?

And re "I couldn't figure it out myself," does that mean you did - - or, did not - - read the documentation for LWP::Simple ... and did you make any other attempt to find an appropriate module?

So, sounds to me like you need to do some of your own homework -- starting with On asking for help & Company, and then write some code... after which you will generally get a warm welcome if you explain how/why/where you're failing to attain your objective.
