I'm moving an application from XP to Linux. The XP version of the application uses com automation to instantiate an instance of IE6 and then drive it to various web sites. These are generally fairly sophisticated with content driven by scripts, involve frames, etc. I need to measure the time between the start of navigation and its completion, reference the DOM to extract certain data from the page, possibly save the page (not just the HTML, but exactly what you would get by manually doing a SAVEAS), etc. Because of the sophistication of the pages LWP is not a viable answer (no support to scripts or frames as I understand). Likewise wget. It appears that I'll need to automate a real browser (Mozilla?) under Linux.
I'd like to do this using Perl and Mozilla but am unsure how to approach the problem. Is it possible? What is the general approach? Are there any examples of Perl/Mozilla applications or interfaces? I'm generally aware of PLXPCOMP and XPCOMP but unclear of how to use them to attack this task. Thanks for any clues.
