geekgrrl and nmcfarl are correct about Javascript, but your tick() usage is wrong. You need to pass the value as the second arg:

$agent->tick($chk_visa,'Visa');
Here are two test scripts for you, the first is a CGI script and the second is a W::M bot that queries the CGI script and tests its "return" value.

CGI script:
use CGI::Pretty qw(:standard); if (param('chklstCC:0')) { print header, param('chklstCC:0'); } else { print header,start_html,start_form, checkbox_group( -name=>'chklstCC:0', -values=>[qw(Visa MasterCard Discover)], ), submit('go'), end_form, end_html, ; }
Bot script:
use WWW::Mechanize; use Test::More qw(no_plan); my $bot = WWW::Mechanize->new(); $bot->get('http://localhost/path/to/cgi_script.cgi'); $bot->tick('chklstCC:0','Visa'); $bot->submit; is( $bot->content(), 'Visa', "Got expected content" );

UPDATE: (a reply)
No value? Then those aren't "real" checkboxes, are they? Value is a required attribute for the checkbox input type. I gave you correct usage for correct HTML. The checkboxes you are trying to check rely on Javascript, and you will too if you want this bot to work. I have used Javascript with success before, code is at (jeffa) Re: Encrypt web files!. Good luck, you're gonna need it. :/

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
