If you want to fill out only specific fields, then you'll have to do a "View Source" and look at the name="foo" value for the fields you want to set. Then you use $mech->set_fields instead of set_visible. But that's not hard. > Thanks for any help (If you had a piece of code ready somewhere that > does something similar I'd like to work through that, but > understanding Mechanize from scrap - oh boy.....) Yes, it's a long doc but it's easy to understand, once you get how it works. Hope this helps. -- Mark Thomas Internet Systems Architect _______________________________________ BAE SYSTEMS Information Technology 2525 Network Place Herndon, VA 20171 USA _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Web mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
