When submitting a particular form with netscape, I get a large number of results, but when submitting what I *think* is the same form with LWP, I get no results (the request succeeds, but the web server says "You must specify some information to search on."). The form is the "Search for Jobs" thing at the bottom of http://www.BrilliantPeople.com/jobsearch.asp I can with netscape select Information Technology, and leave the keyword field blank (I have javascript disabled, so it doesn't complain about this), and press the "Go ->" submit button. This works. But when I try to recreate the request with LWP: 
   sub searchreq($) {
      my $page = 0 + shift;
      return HTTP::Request->new(POST =>
         "http://www.BrilliantPeople.com/jobsearch.asp",
         undef,
         # Search for Information Technologies stuff.
         "hdnOccupationSelectionCodes=".join(",",5118..5137)
         ."&txtKeywords="
         #."&numberperpage=100".
         #."&currentpage=" . $page
     );
   }

I get: "You must specify some information to search on." Any suggestions? The more I pound my head on this problem, the less like a BrilliantPerson I feel.
