Description:
I require a Perl script to test a form on a particular page by submitting test data to the form, parsing the returned results page, and saving the results to a variable that can be tested against the expected results.
I need to able to submit data to the following page:
http://www.buildingbetterhealth.com/topic/bodyfat
For example, I would like it to submit:
height=5'10
weight=160
sex=m
age=22
The results page returns the following:
"• Your body fat percentage is 16.4
• This percentage puts you in the normal range
• For your age, the normal body fat range is 8-19 percent"
and:
"• Your body mass index is 23"
I would like the script to save "16.4","normal","8-19", and "23" to variables. Later, I will have to compare the values of these variables to the expected results.
This program should be able to test multiple data sets. I tried programming it using WWW::Mechanize and HTML:TokeParser, but I am having a lot of problems doing so.
Deliverables:
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request.
3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased.
Platform:
Unix, Internet Explorer
Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all business projects < $500 (before the buyer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the software buyer and seller agreements.
We monitor all site activity for such violations and can instantly expel transgressers on the spot, so we thank you in advance for your cooperation.
If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.

| Hello,
I am a Perl scripting expert
prepared to complete testing
your form within a day.
I favor the LWP module and then
HTML::TokeParser for these tasks.
It should be a simple matter to
launch a query and then parse
the output for the fields you
seek. Nevertheless, it may take
some care to prepare a query
completely and then sometimes
there is some slight of hand
required to receive the HTML
page from a website.
All steps will be documented
within the script to allow you
to learn these techniques.
