The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: WWW::Automate
DSLIP: cdpOp
description: Automate interaction with a web server
userid: HOWARD (Jeremy Howard)
chapterid: 15 (World_Wide_Web_HTML_HTTP_CGI)
communities:
similar:
LWP HTML::Form WWW::Chat
rationale:
WWW::Automate fulfils a similar role to WWW::Chat, by allowing
scripts to be written that fill out forms and follow hyperlinks
keeping state across requests. WWW::Automate goes beyond WWW::Chat
by supporting methods that do not require the explicit name or a
form element or URL of a hyperlink, but understands methods that
"fill in the text field after the text 'name:'" and similar methods
based around the structure of a page. It incorporates the structural
logic of HTML::TreeBuilder, HTML::Form, and HTML::TableExtract into
an integrated interface plus adds in stateful request handling like
WWW::Chat.
