hi,

i'm trying to upload files with a form using WWW::Mechanize. The form looks like this:

<p><form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.cgi" method="pos
+t">
<p><b><u><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=+1>
To run a detailed ssSNPer
analysis on a single SNP:</font></font></u></b>
<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">Specify the location 
of your file containing
the test SNP rs# (e.g., "<a href="http://fraser.qimr.edu.au/general/da
+leN/ssSNPer/rs1800630snp.txt">rs1800630snp.txt</a>"):</font>
<br><input name="testSNP" type="file">
<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">Specify the location of your HapMap SN
+P
genotype data dump file (e.g., "<a href="http://fraser.qimr.edu.au/gen
+eral/daleN/ssSNPer/rs1800630dumpedregion.txt">rs1800630dumpedregion.t
+xt</a>"):</font>
<br><input name="HapMapData" type="file">
<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">Please be patient, our web server may 
+be
busy and depending upon the size of your test region your query may ta
+ke
a few minutes (the example files take ~90 seconds).</font>
<br><input type="submit">

</form>

the piece of code i'm using looks like this: 
$mech->get( "http://fraser.qimr.edu.au/general/daleN/ssSNPer/" );

$mech->form_number(1);
$mech->field("testSNP"=>"/tmp/hapmap/rs11581638_name.txt");
$mech->field("HapMapData"=>"/tmp/hapmap/rs11581638_data.txt");
my $request=$mech->submit();

my $content=$request->content;
   
print $content;

Anyone any ideas why this isn't working?
