RE: :mechanize issues/mechanize.pm dies!!

darrell...

thanks for the reply... i had started to think something along the same
thing... as far as i can tell.. it's the only place were that occurs...

so i'll put that one to rest...

but since you repsonded, i have a www::mechanize question...

i'm looking at the utexas austin site..
https://utdirect.utexas.edu/registrar/clavnew/clav3.WBX?s_semester=su2004

the underlying html, implies that there is some method that they're using to
send multiple forms?????

do you know if www::mechanize can be used to essentially log into the
site/page..

i would have thought it would have been doable, by sending the EID/passwd,
and possbily the CDT, NEW_PASSWORD, CONFIRM_NEW_PASSWORD, and PASSWORDS
values...

but i'm not sure ....

any comments/criticisms/help/etc.. is appreciated...

thanks

the html in question is below...
