in reply to Clicking nameless buttons with WWW::Mechanize

I've tried to submit the form using the submit method, but it seems the first form on the page (a website search box) is submitted instead of the login form.
I sort of doubt that can happen
use strict; use WWW::Mechanize; use WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller; use URI::URL; my $agent = WWW::Mechanize->new( autocheck => 1 ); my $formfiller = WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller->new(); $agent->env_proxy(); $agent->follow('http://use.perl.org/'); $agent->get('http://use.perl.org/'); $agent->form(1) if $agent->forms and scalar @{$agent->forms}; $agent->form_number(2); { local $^W; $agent->current_form->value('query', 'WWW::Mechanize'); + }; $agent->submit(); __END__ C:\>perl -MWWW::Mechanize -e"die WWW::Mechanize->VERSION" 1.11_01 at -e line 1.
