HTML::Form/WWW::Mechanize don't have a problem with buttons inside forms `use WWW::Mechanize 1.75; my $ua = WWW::Mechanize->new; $ua->get(q{file:123654789987.html}); $ua->dump_forms; __END__ POST file:/xxx.cgi?login login_name= (text) password= (password) login=<UNDEF> (submit) login=<UNDEF> (submit)` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
