Does anyone know if hidden fields have to be filled in or does the form use them automatically with the module?
If you're selecting a form and then submitting it, hidden fields are sent, HTML::Form makes sure of that
Every time I have a question like this, I write a program
#!/usr/bin/perl --
use strict;
use warnings;
use WWW::Mechanize;
use URI::file;
my $ua = WWW::Mechanize->new();
$ua->timeout( 0.1 );
$ua->get( URI::file->new( __FILE__ ) );
$ua->add_handler("request_send", sub { shift->dump; return });
$ua->add_handler("response_done", sub { shift->dump; return });
$ua->form_number(0);
$ua->submit;
#~ <form action="http://127.0.0.1:666666/" enctype="multipart/form-dat
+a" method="post">
#~ <input name="HIDER" value="REDIH" type="hidden">
#~ <input type="button" name="button1" value="click1" />
#~ <input TYPE="checkbox" VALUE=3 NAME="foo" CHECKED>
#~ <input type="text" name="hi">
#~ <input type="submit" name=".submit" />
#~ </form>
__END__

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
