Hi Todd
Thanks a lot for the pointer.
WWW::Mechanize was exactly what I needed.
Using it's field replacement, I could log in to the site without any problem
with the cookies.
However, the next web page from where I actually want to send the message
contains a text box for the mobilenumber and textarea for the message.
The textbox was filled with the mobile number easily using
$agent->field("mobilenumber","+9198155...");
Result :
<input TABINDEX="1" TYPE="text" NAME="mobilenumber" MAXLENGTH="200"
SIZE="55" VALUE="+9198155...">
All is great till this point.
The hurdle now is that I could not find any method to populate the textarea
:(
Here is the html line from page where I'm supposed to put the message :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<textarea TABINDEX="2" ID="message" NAME="message" COLS="45" ROWS="4"
WRAP="PHYSICAL" onBlur="textRemaining();" onfocus="textRemaining();"
onkeydown="textRemaining();" onkeypress="textRemaining();"
onkeyup="textRemaining();"></textarea>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Could anyone please tell me how I could populate the textarea using
Mechanize so that a submit() would send the msg on it's way...
Thanks you so much
aman

You are running in to some very usual issues with http clients. Really the
best we ( or at least myself ) can say is that you are not sending a
properly formatted cookie.
There is a module called WWW::Mechanize that helps facilitate what you are
trying to do. You might want to give it a look.
