Hello all
 
I am trying to harvest a set of information from a search service that gives 
the results of the search by pages.
I am interested in ALL of the results.
I can activate the search and obtain the first page with results. but when I 
try to follow the link for the next page I cant do it since the link is a Java 
script code at the source.
 
I am using a WWW::Mechanize agent to do this procedure and i have tried 
$link = $mech->find_link (text, "mytext")
$link = $mech->find(textregex, qr/myregex/i).....etc
then 
$url = $link->url()
and finally 
$mech->get ($url)the code does not work not because I am not able to get the 
link but because the link calls a Java script argument which is then 
interpreted to generate the next page.
 
I have also tried the following methods from the WWW::mechanize module
 
follow_link (this one does not work for the same reason presented before) and
clik_button (this one does not recognize the link as a valid button)
 
non of them work
 
The link points to this code
 
"javascript:mySubmit( 2, 're_search', 25) "
on this reference 
<a href="javascript:mySubmit( 2, 're_search', 25) ">previous</a>
