Hello Monks,

I am wondering what could be the issue with mechanize find_link in this case, The URL am trying is the below one

 my $url = "http://careers.republic.co.uk/pb3/corporate/Republic/search.php";

After clicking the First page button, it will lead us to a page which carries some jobs. There is a Next Page also. I am trying to automate to the next page using find_link of mechanizewith url regex(/page=2/) or text regex(/Next/). but it is giving me some other links

Pls can any monks help me out of this..... My code is below,

use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize;

my $search_url = "http://careers.republic.co.uk/pb3/corporate/Republic
+/search.php";   
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();  


eval{
    $mech->agent_alias('Mac Safari');
    $mech->get($search_url);
    $mech->click('p_bRun');
    };


my $next = $mech->find_link( text_regex => qr#Next# );
# my $next = $mech->find_link( url_regex => qr#page=2# );  # Either wa
+y not succeding
print $next->url() . "\n";
#exit; 

my $filename = 'path.html';
$mech->save_content( $filename );
exit;
