The following code worked...

# this code worked
use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize;

my $url = 'http://www.bluffsdogs.com/agree.asp';

my $robot = new WWW::Mechanize;
$robot->get($url);
#$robot->form_number('');
#$robot->form_name('');
#$robot->set_fields('radiobutton' => 'true');
#$robot->click();

# Get the reply to my question
my $html = $robot->content();

print "$html";

...BUT...

Now I want to be able to parse the results for links. In another program I used something like: 
    my $response = $browser->get($baseurl,@ns_headers);
    die "$baseurl error: ", $response->status_line
      unless $response->is_success;
    die "Weird content type at $baseurl -- ", $response->content_type
      unless $response->content_type eq 'text/html';
    my $html = $response->content;

    # save all files that match pattern given - ignore case
    while( $html =~ m/<a.{1,40}href=(.*?)>/ig ) {
      my $matchline = $1;
      #print "matchline = $matchline\n";
      if($matchline =~  m/\"(.*?)\"/ig ) {
            $matchline=$1;
            $sawcount++;
      }  # else keep what you have
      $savestr= URI->new_abs( $matchline, $response->base );
      #print "savestr = $savestr\n";
      if ($savestr =~ /$pattern/i ) {$savecount++;&storeurl($savestr,$
+trackname,$year)};
    }
    print "I saw $sawcount URLs and thought $savecount where of intere
+st.\n";

Is it possible use things like $savestr= URI->new_abs( $matchline, $response->base ); with Mechanize???
