Take a look at WWW::Mechanize on CPAN. Think of it as a scriptable web browser robot that plugs right into standard perl Test stuff (via Test::WWW::Mechanize) if you want to. You can do a lot with it, including interact with forms and submit them. You could configure a test user account and do a login and logout with (Test::)WWW::Mechanize, checking (with regular expressions if you wish) that RT at a glance page looks about right. - Mikko _______________________________________________ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.
