Question

I have the following code:

$IEDocument = $IE->{Document};
$Forms = $IEDocument->all;
$form = $forms->item{'search');
$form->click;

# it clicks the search button which submits to a page
# then I do the following

$doc = $IE->{Document}; #Not sure if correct
$forms = $doc->{DocumentElement}->{InnerHTML};
$form = $forms->item('field');
$form->{value} = "12345";

# The following code must submit to a page, then put new info in an input field on that new submitted page

But it doesn’t work, whats a way to do this? I researched so much, someone suggested to use WWW::Mechanize, but when I use it I can’t take screenshot of the page, because the Mechanize just shows whats its doing in CMD, and doesn’t really open a browser. (BTW is there a way to open a browser with WWW::Mechanize and see whats actually going on?)

Answer 1

Please give some details about how it

doesn’t work

To take screenshots you can use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox module:

use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox;
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Firefox->new();
$mech->get('http://google.com');

my $png = $mech->content_as_png(); #you have a screen in $png now
