Orpheus,
I am not %100 sure what you mean, but if the form is using GET method to parse the input, you could fill out the form, and have you browser take you to the results.

So, if the form you wanted to login to used the GET method, and If I understand what you are trying to do, you could do it

so if the site you wanted to login to was like: http://url.com/cgi-bin/login.cgi?name=LOGINNAME&password=PASSWORD
you could do somthing like

code:

$login="rob";
password="pword";
print "Location: [url="http://url.com/cgi-bin/login.cgi?name=$login&password=$password\nURI:"]http://url.com/cgi-bin/login.cgi?name=$login&password=$password\nURI:[/url]  http://url.com/cgi-bin/login.cgi?name=$login&password=$password\n\n"  ;
[/code]

Or you could use the LWP::Simple to connect to the URL, and ave the html page in a $var.
code:use LWP::Simple;
$login="rob";
password="pword";
$html = get("http://url.com/cgi-bin/login.cgi?name=$login&password=$password
");
[/code]

Sorry if that did not help at all.

**Patrick, apply the [ code ] hack again please   **
