Perl - Submit Javascript action to host

Question

I am building a Spider in Perl and have a problem:

The Site I want to spider uses a JavaScript for Age-Verification and I don\'t know how to get past this in Perl...

Answer 1

What Perl modules are you using? WWW::Mechanize has an AJAX plugin, although it hasn't been updated in a while. I guess you could also look at something like WWW::Selenium.

But I bet that AJAX request is going to inject some HTML that requires the user to input some data, then submit a form. Pretty tricky to cover all bases for that general case...
