im sorry i posted the question like an ass without reading about the __viewstate thing.. the code is simple
$mech->click_button(name => 'ctl00$Main$Send_Button');
the error is
No clickable input with name ctl00$Main$Send_Button at /usr/lib/perl5/ +site_perl/5.8.8/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 1461
ive read about the postback and what i know so far is that i have to get the value of the __viewstate, __eventvalidation, select the Main send button value and submit the form however i dont know how to get the value of __eventstate which would be something like this
value="/wEPDwUKMTg1MjcyMzgzMw9kFgJmD2QWAgIBD2QWAgIBD2QWAgIGD2QWAmYPFgI +eA2FsdAURUG93ZXJlZCBieSBHb29nbGVkGAEFFWN0bDAwJE1haW4kTXVsdGlWaWV3MQ8P +ZGZk" />
from what ive read it should be $vs =~ and then the pattern match which i dont know how to do
