Thanks for quik respose. Actually, I posted wrong code. Below is the code I am
using. I do use $browser->post(...). But, I cannot get result page. Any clue?
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use LWP;
my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $response = $browser->post('http://www.abebooks.com',
["sts" => "t",
"an" => "",
"tn" => "Codex Seraphinianus",
"kn" => "",
"isbn" => ""
]
);
die "Error: ", $response->status_line, "\n" unless $response->is_success;
my $out_file = "result_seraph.html"; # where to save it
open(OUT, ">$out_file") || die "Can't write-open $out_file: $!";
binmode(OUT);
print OUT $response->content;
close(OUT);
print "Bytes saved: ", -s $out_file, " in $out_file\n";
