I haven't done it, but I have read in the past that you can do something
like:

cat file_with_vars.txt | lynx http://mysite/myscript.php -post_data

with the vars in the file in key value pairs like:

name=foobar
address=123 street
city=mycity

etc.

Can anyone confirm this?

Good Luck!

The libwww-perl library should help you out.  In Debian at least, it
includes /usr/bin/lwp-request , a command-line interface for all your
GET, HEAD, POST and PUT needs.
