Im sure there is a fairly simple answer to my problems
using the LWP notation but I cant seem to work it out.
Im trying to send
(1) input i.e. a list of genes and
(2) effectively press the "START" button on a website
- http://fatigo.bioinfo.cnio.es/ -
remotely using the LWP notation.
My problem is that unlike my previous experience with
screen scraping the URL of this website doesnt change
with a particular request containing the query within it.
- any help would be appreciated
thanks

Have you started with actually looking at the 'html'
that is being generated for that URL? A part of the
trick here is that you will need to work out all of
the variables that will need to be checked in the
piece of javascript used to validate before submitting.
I presume that since you are talking about the 'query
string' not changing that you mean that the 'submit' is
a 'post' rather than a 'get' event - since one needs to
submit the query to the in the proper form back to the
server.
There is at least one hidden value that I noticed,
and that will need to be a part of your "post" information.
HTH.
