Ah ok ! Fair enough.
What I'm trying to do is make a simplified 'web scraper'
Frequently within our Org I need to collect data from various systems ( say checking the names on the internal colleague register )
But we have many systems and some use javascript. Because of this I was leaning towards Mech::Firefox since it handles it for you.
I envisaged putting in the internal web address, then receiving back a set of links, forms, etc which the user could then select. I would save the choices in a config file and so allow the user to avoid repetitive checks.
So i'm bit confused by the answer as it suggest using HTML::Form but the documentation states it doesn't return this type of object.
I'd like to understand it properly as I intend to expand the code substantially

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).
