Hello,

I want to fill out and submit Html form (not manually) using Perl or
other scripting language if necessary. Html form is composed of
pull-down menu and can lead to another html form when submitting the
first one.
Is there a perl module to solve this problem ? Any idea or piece of
perl is welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Botauh

There is this web automation software called Newbie, http://www.newbielabs.com. It works great for automating web pages using scripts. Both IE and Mozilla Firefox are supported.

I use iMacros with Perl and it works GREAT and very reliably

They even have a Perl tutorial from a Nokia guy on their website: http://www.iopus.com/imacros/tutorials/perl.htm

Also, you can post in their user forum at http://forum.iopus.com . I hang out there, too
