Wise Monks --

I am working with WWW::Mechanize::Shell, and not sure how to set a <SELECT> field.

The form looks like this 

<select name="language" multiple size="4">
<option value="*" selected> All Languages </option> <option value="---
+---0">------</option>    <option value="da"> Danish </option>    <opt
+ion value="nl"> Dutch </option>    <option value="en"> English </opti
+on>  
...snip...
</select>

When I use 
fillout

[download]
interactively or when I declare 
value language en

::FormFiller complains 
Illegal value 'en' at C:/APPS/Perl/site/lib/WWW/Mechanize/Shell.pm lin
+e 471

I think I am not grokking how to fill out a SELECT pull down menu via WWW:M:S. Advice, wise monks?

Thanks
