Establish a session to call URL with Perl

Question

I am trying to mine data from a webpage with the WWW::Mechanize perl module. However, I first need to establish a connection so that this webpage will allow me to access the data. In a browser, I can establish this connection by clicking a particular href link. Is there a way to do this with Perl?

Thank you very much.

Clicking href links is what Mechanize does. – friedo Jul 06 '13 at 17:13 — friedo, Jul 06 '13 at 17:13
