This cannot be the error message you are seeing. The script you show does not have 1407 lines. There is no method named "`some_method`" mentioned in the code you show. Please find a colleague near to you and ask them about how to proceed with your problem. I cannot help you further unless you show actual effort.	[reply] [d/l]

You don't tell us which version of WWW::Mechanize you have installed. You could find out the version by running: `perl -MWWW::Mechanize -e "die WWW::Mechanize->VERSION"` [download] The most common cause for this is that you did not set the proper form in your script. I notice a commented out line `#$mech->form_id('form');` [download] Maybe using the correct form helps. Or maybe there is no form on your page. I think at least version 1.73 of WWW::Mechanize outputs a proper warning instead of crashing the program.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
