Monastery, I need help with Mechanize firefox module.I am trying to download a usage file and I have automated to the point where I get a prompt for Opening "file" dialog with two radio buttons open (selected) and save file. I am trying to execute a java-script that will select the save file radio button and then the ok button, but I don't seem to find out how to do that. Any ideas on how to execute the javascript from within my code? Currently my code looks like this:

my $agent = WWW::Mechanize::Firefox->new(autoclose => 0);
    $agent->get($url);
    # check if page has a login cached page
    if ($cached)
    {
    $agent->form_number('1');
    $agent->field(j_username=>$username);
    $agent->field(j_password=>$password);
    $agent->submit();
    die unless ($agent->success);
    }
    else
    {
    #Now we retrieve the download page for downloading usage records.
    my $usagepage="$url$usagelink";
    $agent->get($usagepage);
    $agent->form_name($usageform);
    $agent->field("#dateFrom",$datefrom);
    $agent->field("#dateTo",$dateto);
    #this now brings out the download prompt dialog box
    # and requires action
    $agent->eval_in_page('doExport(););
   # Need to now obtain file somehow...
    die unless ($agent->success);

Any help or direction is greatly appreciated.
