WWW::Mechanize should take care of hidden fields automatically, so you could delete these lines:

for ($output =~ /name=\"DV_DATA\" type=\"hidden\" VALUE=\"(.*?)\">/smi
+){
    
    $dv_data = $1;
    
}
[download]

and this line:

    DV_DATA => $dv_data
[download]

This line is wrong:

$webpage =~ s/\'\//\"$base_address\//smig;
[download]

because of the quote mismatch. (Also, only the g flag is actually needed on this statement.)

You might want something like:

  $webpage =~ s!(=['"])/!$1$base_address/!g;
[download]

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.
