From: wimaxj on 20 Jun 2008 14:57 Hi, I want to write a program that can interact with web pages, such as simulating a mouse click on a button or filling a form, based on the contents of this webpage, etc. Actually I want to automate in a webpage based online game www.ogame.org, just like some available bots (most of which are for windows platform and are not open source). I had some searches on google, but none of them gave me any clue. Any one can give me suggestions on where should I start, any linux/ unix libraries I should use (with this I could possibly find what I need to know).

Thanks for the reply! I don't use perl. I can use C/C++, Tcl. But I still can have a look at the package you mentioned.
