I'm using WWW::Mechanize

Here is a snippet of code: 
$mech->get($url);
$mech->form_name('loginform');
$mech->set_fields(user_login => $username, user_pass => $password);
$mech->click();
my $output_page = $mech->content();

if ($output_page =~ m/cookies/) {
   $TestStatus = 1;
   ok( $TestStatus , "Login failed - Browser not  enabled to accept co
+okies error");

# Try logging in again - should work this time...

   $mech->get($url);
   $mech->form_name('loginform');
   $mech->set_fields(user_login => $username, user_pass => $password);
   $mech->click();
   }

The first attempt fails and I get the cookies error, which tells me that I'm populating the user_login and user_pass fields. But after invoking the click method, I can't seem to repopulate the fields - at least that's how the site is behaving...
