Subject: How to make a script that automatically post forms?

Try the cgi.pm module from cpan, basically do something like
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI (:standard);
# use CGI module
my $value = param('param_name');
# grab the value of "param_name"
my $first_name = param('fname');
# grab the vaule of param name "fname"
print headers();
print ("Your name is $firstname<BR>");
print ("and you seem to enjoy $value<BR>");
# print info out to the users.
`echo "$name - $vaule" >> /tmp/somefile.txt`;
# save the information in a file for latter
# go on to do some further processing.
There is more than 1 way to write a cgi-script in Perl, so I am not claiming
this will be the best way...

Yes, I think so. I also subscribed to this list thinking it was a general
perl mailing list, but it turns out to be a developers list for libwww. I
have no clue what they are talking about, but it seems intersting. Which
brings up another point, does anyone know of a general Perl or Perl/CGI
mailing list?
