- lupin_sansei 19y agoYes. You you can either automate IE http://support.microsoft.com/kb/167658 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/167658 (or Firefox http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/mozilla.htm http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/mozilla.htm ) from your code and make a bot that way. Or use a "bot" like this which uses IE under the hood: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Win32-IE-Mechanize/lib/Win32/IE/Mechanize.pm http://search.cpan.org/dist/Win32-IE-Mechanize/lib/Win32/IE/Mechanize.pm or this one which uses Mozilla under the hood: http://search.cpan.org/~slanning/Mozilla-Mechanize-0.05/lib/Mozilla/Mechanize.pm http://search.cpan.org/~slanning/Mozilla-Mechanize-0.05/lib/Mozilla/Mechanize.pm
