Downloading a csv file automatically

I want to automatically download a CSV file daily which can be found here:
London Stock Exchange - Search
and the link is named "Click to download covered warrants (100Kb)" on the right hand side.

What commands can I use to invoke clicking on this link and initiating the download? And also what commands can I use to save the file locally? As you can see wget will not work, unless someone can prove otherwise.

Thanks in advance

Thank you for your response. However WWW::Mechanize does not operate on Javascript. Any other ideas?
