Using the example below. I have an HTML file parsed using Mojo::DOM. However I encounter a scenario in one of the pages has two classes that I need (Question and Answer) to read comprising of a Label with its corresponding textbox that needs filling. I am having problem retrieving the Label and its corresponding textbox so that I can fill in the right values into the right box.

<td class="Question">1</td>
<td class="Answer"><input type="text"/></td>
<td class="Question">2</td>
<td class="Answer"> <input type="text"/></input></td>
<td class="Question">3</td>
</td class="Answer"><input type="text"/></td>

Please any ideas on how I can go about it using perl? Please note that the innertext for each label do change per script run.

    After fiddling with Mojo::Dom I was able to select the value of the labels , I then combined it with WWW::Mechanize to fill it into the input text boxes.

    my $url = "http://MyURL/Path"
my $mech  = WWW::Mechanize->new( agent => 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows 
NT 6.1)');
$mech->get($url);
$dom =  Mojo::DOM->new($mech->content);
my @temp =  $dom->find('.Question')->map(sub{$_->text})->each ;

    The array it return leaves it in order that I wanted. I got a reference from http://blogs.perl.org/users/joel_berger/2012/05/using-mojodom.html which really helped in case anyone is in need of an easy to use tool.
