Hi experts,

I am trying to log into the website: https://steamcommunity.com/login/home/?goto=market%2F and it doesn't seem to be working. My code is: 


    use JSON::XS;
    use WWW::Mechanize;
    use HTTP::Cookies;
    use LWP::Simple;
    use strict;
    use warnings;


    my $login = "https://steamcommunity.com/login/home/?goto=market%2F
+";
    my $username = "USR";
    my $password = "PASS";
    my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
    $mech->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new());
    $mech->get($login);
    $mech->form_name('loginForm');
    $mech->field(login => $username);
    $mech->field(passwd => $password);
    $mech->click();

Any trouble shooting help would be really appreciated as after quite a while of searhing the forums I have found nothing.

Thanks in advance
