Hi. I'm using LWP::UserAgent and HTTP::Request::Common to automate filling out a form. This form has multiple submit buttons, like in the code below. 
 <input name="screen" type=submit value="Retrieve data to screen">
 <input name="email"  type=submit value="Retrieve data by email">
 <input name="ftp"    type=submit value="Retrieve data by ftp">

I am trying to submit using the 1st option, "Retrieve to screen". My current code: 
my $response = POST
      $form_url,
     [ 
        some => "options",
        screen    => "Retrieve data to screen",
     ];

Is submitting the data to the url ok and generating a response. However the response claims that I have not chosen where the data is to displayed (eg. one of the buttons). I think this might be happening because I am not submitting values for 'ftp' or 'email' values. I have tried submitting "", but I'm not having much luck. What is the correct way to handle multiple submit options? Is there something obvious I have missed? Thanks!
