perl browser 1

[SirCharles]

script to interface with web server. I'd like to interface with the web server via a perl script rather than a browser. So, browser calls perl cgi script, then perl makes http call to another browser, passing get and post vars along with a url. Then perl script receives response from web server. I guess what this means is writing a mini- kind of - web browser type functionality in perl. Would this require xml or is there some perl module (http module) that could do this type of interface?

I'd really like to keep it very simple stupid kind of thing here.

So, where would be some good examples? Manual pages? I looked at perl.apache.org

Here is one specific to the authentication handlers you are looking at :

I'd recommend buying (or use Safari!

http://safari.oreilly.com/)

the 'Eagle Book' (Writing Apache Modules in Perl and C). Thats a great start. Hey,and one of my sites is in the 'examples' section of the introduction
