Navigating a WebPage with Perl
Hi All
Below is Code, It opens a link from which it ask a login name and password, the script enter the login name and password and navigate to next page..
In the next page there is a drop down box from which i have to select a value, I have written the code but it gives error
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use LWP::UserAgent;
use  WWW::Mechanize;
use HTTP::Cookies;
use strict;

my $username="123456";
my $password="XXXXX";
my $project="Systems";
my $agent = WWW::Mechanize->new();
$agent->get('http://www.XXXXX.com');
$agent->form_name("login_form");
$agent->field("txtLoginId", $username);
$agent->field("txtPassword", $password);
$agent->submit();
#Till now it has success full logined, From here it has to select one value from a drop #down box
$agent->form_name("frmProject");
$agent->field("cboProject", $project);
my $response=$agent->submit();

  if ($response->is_success){
  print "\nContent:\n";
  print $response->as_string;
  }elsif ($response->is_error){
  print $response->error_as_HTML;
  }

From here I have selected a value from a drop down box but when the script presses the submit It gives the error

Error POSTing http://XXXX/Web/SetProjSession.as
p: Internal Server Error at C:\Users\parth_mittal\Documents\Perl Prgms\5.pl line

Any idea please

NAME

       systemd-tty-ask-password-agent - List or process pending systemd password requests

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-tty-ask-password-agent [OPTIONS...] [VARIABLE=VALUE...]

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-tty-ask-password-agent is a password agent that handles password requests of the system, for example for hard disk encryption
       passwords or SSL certificate passwords that need to be queried at boot-time or during runtime.

       systemd-tty-ask-password-agent implements the Password Agents Specification[1], and is one of many possible response agents which answer to
       queries formulated with systemd-ask-password(1).

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       --list
	   Lists all currently pending system password requests.

       --query
	   Process all currently pending system password requests by querying the user on the calling TTY.

       --watch
	   Continuously process password requests.

       --wall
	   Forward password requests to wall(1) instead of querying the user on the calling TTY.

       --plymouth
	   Ask question with plymouth(8) instead of querying the user on the calling TTY.

       --console
	   Ask question on /dev/console instead of querying the user on the calling TTY.

       -h, --help
	   Print a short help text and exit.

       --version
	   Print a short version string and exit.

EXIT STATUS

       On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
