Hello! This is a repost of a problem that I just can get straightened out. I am trying write a Perl script to log into my router and open and close ports. I am able to log and and move around. I and able to retrieve data like IP address etc. But not able to check a checkbox or uncheck a checkbox. There are no errors, it just doesn't seem to update the checkboxes. As you can see from the code I have tried a few different things, without any luck though. I think that this is the HTML that I am working with.

<td width="10%" align="center"><input type="checkbox" name="EnBt0" val
+ue="checkbox" CHECKED > </td>

Can anyone help? Thanks.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use WWW::Mechanize;

my $url='http://192.168.0.1/WanService.html';
my $lo_url='http://192.168.0.1/logout.html';
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( utocheck => 1 );
$mech->credentials(
    '192.168.0.1:80',
    'FVS318',
    'admin' => 'secret'
);
# And then $mech->get() the same as in the LWP::UserAgent code

my $response = $mech->get($url);
die "Error at $url\n ", $response->status_line, "\n Aborting" unless $
+response->is_success;
print "SUCCESS data type: ", $response->content_type, "\n\n";

#print "\n\n";
#print $response->content;

$mech->tick('EnBt3', 'checkbox', 'CHECKED');

        $mech->response->status_line;

• 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).
