in thread WWW::Mechanize clicking checkboxes

Sorry for bugging you again. All the textboxes have the same name with a different value. They are all named post_category[] with values between 1 and 20ish. Can I assume I can just do 'post_category[]' => '1, 3, 4, 6' to make checkboxes in all the listed fields? Or is there some other way I have to add them?

    Maybe now is a good time to actually learn about HTTP and query parameters? Compare what your browser sends to what your script will send if you write it that way.

    Also take a look at ->set_fields.

    I concur wholeheartedly with Corion, Ovid's CGI Course is a good start

    Also, for every question like this you have, you should write a small program to answer it, like this
