Hi pm
Although I have not tired this, I think it should be an alternative for Win32::Guitest on linux. X11::GUITest The following link has all the info including installation and example. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2006/02/02/x11_gui_testing.html Thanks Prasanna ________________________________ From: positive mind [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 7:02 PM To: Nagasamudram, Prasanna Kumar Cc: beginners@perl.org Subject: Re: constructing a http request using LWP..

(You may have to install the Win32::GuiTest module from cpan. (also change YOURLOGIN and YOURPASSWORD appropriately). With this you don't have to worry about constructing the query string. use Win32::GuiTest qw(:ALL); system("start iexplore.exe"); sleep(3); # this delay for the window # to comeup - try to increase #if it is not sufficient SendKeys('^(l)'); SendKeys('http://mail.yahoo.com{ENTER}' <http://mail.yahoo.com%7bENTER%7d'> ); sleep(15); # This delay is to load the #page - try to increase if it is not sufficient SendKeys('YOURLOGIN{TAB}'); SendKeys('YOURPASSWORD{ENTER}'); Thanks Prasanna -----Original Message----- From: positive mind [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 5:24 PM To: beginners@perl.org Subject: constructing a http request using LWP.. Hi there, is it possible to automate the login and log out say from yahoo mail using LWP/HTTP module. cause i have application which is similar to this and i have to send my login request alongwith few query parameters . after i login i will be logged in to my applications mail box. how can i do this..i know which query parameters to send but not able to construct the url. the query parameters are site=xyz.abc.com lang=en locale=us and few more..which are static. but there is something called random number which is hidden one and which is generated randomly. if i do view source on the login page then i can get the value of this random number. my query is how do i get this random number from my perl script and pass it as query param. any idea will be helpful. thanks in advance, pm
