in reply to problem regarding the value given in the select box

Have you reviewed the documentation of WWW::Mechanize for ->field?

Given the name of a field, set its value to the value specified.

This sets the value, not the label or anything that is presented to the user.

If you are automating a website, you will need to learn a bit about HTML and HTTP too.
