I have been using Mechanize (http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/ mechanize/) recently and found it useful. Do you know how Twill and Mechanize compare? My impression was Twill is a high level wrapper around Mechanize, which makes it suitable for basic tasks, but the larger Mechanize API is necessary for complex tasks.
