For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Help with this code please

Hi, Im new with perl, anyway Im trying to make a script that logs me into a web and then regsiter my ip address, Im mean, is a free domain but i have a dynamic Ip and needs to be modify everytime I get "connected".
I have made this already, but it never gets "updated", i don't know what Im doing wrong, any help?.
Thanks in advance.
Here is the code
     
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use WWW::Mechanize;
use HTTP::Cookies;
my $url = "https://www.dyndns.org/services/dyndns/myweb";
my $username = "username";
my $password = "password";
my $agent =WWW::Mechanize->new();
$agent->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new);
$agent->get($url);
$agent->form(1);
$agent->field("username", $username);
agent->field("password", $password);
$$agent->click();
my $stream = HTML::TokeParser->new(\$agent->{content});
my $old_ip;
my $new_ip;
$stream->get_tag("input");
$stream->get_tag("table");
$stream->get_tag("tr");
$stream->get_tag("td");
$stream->get_tag("td");
$old_ip = $stream->get_trimmed_text("/td");
print "The IP in base is: ($old_ip) \n";
$stream->get_tag("tr");
$stream->get_tag("td");
$stream->get_tag("td");
$new_ip = $agent->field("ip");
print "The new IP is: ($new_ip) \n";
$agent->click_button(value =>"Modify Host");
       print "Done!! \n";



I get the "Done!!" messega, but the registry is not updated, any idea why?
Thanks
The form is like this
Code:
<td valign="top">
           <input type="submit" name="action" value="Modify Host" />& nbsp;
           <input type="submit" name="action" value="Delete Host" />& nbsp;
           <input type="reset" value="Reset Form" />
     </td>


Maybe is a problem with the  "nbsp; "  if it is, how can i get rid of that?

Question noted.  Nedd to get back to base to look at this one (I'm  on the road at the moment).  Please post a follow up if you get it sorted in the meantime, or confirm tomorrow morning that the problem's still unresolved and I'll take a look. - Graham
