Friends,

I am using WWW::Mechanize to automate some form entry work. I want to use the <title> of the web pages I visit to ensure the correct pages are being loaded and submitted to. Here's is my code ... 
...

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();

my $resp = $mech->get( $upLoadUrl );
if ( !$mech->success  ) {
        print "Error could not access $upLoadUrl\n";
        exit 1;
}
 
my $title = $mech->title();
#print Dumper( $resp );
if ( $title ne $upLoadTitle ) {
        print "$upLoadUrl is not titled [$upLoadTitle]\n";
        exit 1;
}
 
$resp = $mech->submit_form (
        fields => {
         j_username => $user,
         j_password => $password,
        }
);     
       
$title = $mech->title(); # get the new title?
print "$upLoadUrl is titled [$upLoadTitle]\n";
print "resp = [ " . Dumper( $resp ) . "]\n";

Why didn't my second callto $mech->title() return Props update example jsp ??? What should I be doing to get this second title?
