Web Automation in Perl/Ksh with NO additional modules

I would like to automate form filling in a remote way... i mean in the background. That form consists of 3 pages (need to be traversed by clicking on a "next" button). Form uses JavaScript as well.

The scripts I have access to are perl/Unix shells [ NOT even Php Smilie ]

I google'd and found that in perl it can be achieved using LWP/UserAgents.pm module. The downside is I am not allowed to install new modules either.

Is there any other way through which I can achieve logon to a intranet site and fill up the form? I presume NO. Still, wanted to confirm with the experienced ones out here!

shell(1F)							   FMLI Commands							 shell(1F)

NAME
shell - run a command using shell SYNOPSIS
shell command [command] ... DESCRIPTION
The shell function concatenate its arguments, separating each by a space, and passes this string to the shell ($SHELL if set, otherwise /usr/bin/sh). EXAMPLES
Example 1: A sample output of shell command. Since the Form and Menu Language does not directly support background processing, the shell function can be used instead. `shell "build prog > /dev/null &"` If you want the user to continue to be able to interact with the application while the background job is running, the output of an exe- cutable run by shell in the background must be redirected: to a file if you want to save the output, or to /dev/null if you don't want to save it (or if there is no output), otherwise your application may appear to be hung until the background job finishes processing. shell can also be used to execute a command that has the same name as an FMLI built-in function. NOTES
The arguments to shell will be concatenate using spaces, which may or may not do what is expected. The variables set in local environments will not be expanded by the shell because "local" means "local to the current process." ATTRIBUTES
