I'm trying to make the initial post to PayPal via a Perl script using LWP. I have the IPN callback from PayPal working fine. Instead of creating a separate HTML page for my shopping cart with the PayPal variables embedded, I'd like to just submit them directly from the cart script via LWP. The problem I have is that LWP is expecting a response. The best I can do is print out the content of the successful response -- the PayPal login page. Is there any way to submit the info to PayPal from the script and then have the browser redirect to the PayPal site? Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks, Kevin Richardson

It's not possible.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Why won't PayPal allow you to prepopulate the payment page via a CGI?
