Oooooooops. I'm still *searching* the Internet for a method that works. So, I haven't given up; I've just concluded Perl isn't able to perform the three-step task of
- going to a certain web page
- logging into an https connection
- press a particular button
I've downloaded some of the suggested Windows freeware and am seeing if that will do it.
I've given up on the Perl tutorial for doing the three steps above so I do thank you all for your kind help. I know you didn't have to help me. You have edified me more than I could have done so myself. This is my last post on the subject, having concluded what I should have known before I started.
That's the one thing you should have told me but I don't blame you. If it can't be done, only the ones who have tried would know. Right?
