archana,

Sorry to say so, but RTFM aill reveal that you can pass the run_tests 
method two data structures, one consisting of global parameters and the 
other an array of hashes with test descriptions.

Everything is nicely documented in the main documentation, and then 
there is the cookbook with nice examples.

Try (on the command prompt):

$ perldoc HTTP::WebTest

SYNOPSIS
           use HTTP::WebTest;

           my $webtest = new HTTP::WebTest;

           # run test from file
           $webtest->run_wtscript('script.wt');

           # or (to pass test parameters as method arguments)
           $webtest->run_tests($tests);

[...]

You want the second alternative.

You can also read  this online:

http://search.cpan.org/~ilyam/HTTP-WebTest-2.04/lib/HTTP/WebTest.pm

Special attention to section:


    Calling HTTP::WebTest from a Perl program (just click below):

http://search.cpan.org/~ilyam/HTTP-WebTest-2.04/lib/HTTP/WebTest.pm#Calling_HTTP::WebTest_from_a_Perl_program

There you have it, with examples and all...

Good webtest scripting!

Cheers,

Joe.
