The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.
This package contains the 'webchatpp' program, with its support
modules WWW::Chat and HTML::Form.

The 'webchatpp' program is a preprocessor that turns chat scripts into
plain perl scripts using libwww-perl.  When the script created by
webchatpp is feed to perl it will perform the chatting.  Chat scripts
are useful for setting up test suites for web applications or just to
automate dialogues with web applications.

This is an example of a simple chat script:

  GET http://www.altavista.com
  EXPECT OK
  F q=Gisle
  CLICK
  EXPECT OK && /Gisle Aas/

You can run it like this (assuming script found in file 'av.wc'):

  webchatpp av.wc | perl

Installation as usual; 'perl Makefile.PL; make install', and further
documentation is embedded in the modules and the webchatpp script.
