From what I can tell, WWW::Mechanize uses HTML::Form, which , in my opinion, does not parse the <select> tag properly.

The code looks for "multiple": 

 if (exists $self->{multiple}) {
            unshift(@{$self->{menu}}, { value => undef, name => "off"}
+);
            $self->{current} = $checked ? 1 : 0;
        }
        else {
            $self->{current} = 0 if $

which does not seem to be set anywhere.
As a result, it only pickes up the first <option>.

You will likely have to parse the raw html using HTML::TokeParser or the like, to extract the options.
