I assume this is line 27?

What you have is that the find_input method on you HTML::Form object
returns undef. According to the documentation this means that there is
no input in the form matching you criteria.

thanks for you reponss.
my error was in web adresss:
'http://www.mysite.com/login.asp/';
but
'http://www.mysite.com/login.asp';


OK, next :

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;
#use diagnostics;

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTML::Form;
use HTML::SimpleLinkExtor;

my ($user,$pass ) = qw(username password);
my $base = 'http://www.mysite.com/login.asp';
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(agent => 'Microsoft Internet Explorer
6.0' );
my $req = HTTP::Request->new( GET => "${base}" );
my $res = $ua->request($req);
die $res->status_line if not $res->is_success;

my $form = (HTML::Form->parse($res->content, $base))[1];

$form->find_input('txtusername')->value($user);
$form->find_input('txtpassword')->value($pass);

my $base2 ='http://www.mysite.com/database/';
my $ua2 = LWP::UserAgent->new(agent => 'Microsoft Internet Explorer
6.0' );
my $req2 = HTTP::Request->new( GET => "${base2}" );
my $res2 = $ua2->request($req2);
die $res2->status_line if not $res2->is_success;
my $extractor = HTML::SimpleLinkExtor->new($base2);
$extractor->parse($res2->content);
my @allLinks = $extractor->links;


for (@allLinks)
{
if (/DataAge.asp/) {

print $_ . "\n";
}
}


my result & code are correct : print command send me, "www.mysite.com/
DataAge.asp"
however, how to connect on this link, without losing a session with
$user et $pass??
the lib html:linkextractor can extract my link, but not simulate a
CLICK on my new link www.mysite.com/DataAge.asp, for instance.

thanks,
