Re: Perl Email and WuFoo Forms.
Hi! You can set up javascript handler for the form and submit it automatically if all fields are filled.

Perl Email and WuFoo Forms.
Hi All, I have a Perl script that pulls in some information, generates an email, sends the email to a person and provides a URL to a WuFoo form. This URL contains the information to populate most fields in the form and could populate all of the fields. What I don't know is how to submit the form. WuFoo uses POST to submit forms so I'm quietly confident I can't trigger that via the URL (happy to be surprised!). The email generated by Perl is plain text so far as I can tell, using the JavaScript API that WuFoo has is out of the question (again, very happy to be told otherwise). Does anybody have any idea how I could go about this? I have access to a server in which to host scripts on etc. and I'm not necessarily looking for a hand-holding solution, just a nudge in the right direction would be brilliant. Thanks, James
