I removed all existing cookies, disabled javascript and cookies in firefox prior to logging in, and was still able to successfully log in, so it doesn't look like javascript or cookie issue (even though the site does set a cookie per HTTP Watch).

I changed the structure of my form submission to this: 

    $mech->submit_form(
        form_name => 'HashForm1',
        fields => {
            login_password => 'username',
            login_username => 'password',
            prefLanguage => '00000000',

        },
        button => "submit",
    );

Still to no success. Is the above code functionally different than what I had been using earlier? 
$mech->form_name('HashForm1');
$mech->field("login_username",'username');
$mech->field("login_password",'password');
$mech->field("prefLanguage",00000000);
$mech->submit_form();

Thanks for the help so far, everyone. I'm looking into HTTP:Recorder right now, and I'm feeling like I'm moving at least a little toward a solution at this point.
