I'm having issues parsing a page with a select multiple dropdown and need a nudge in the right direction. I'm trying to select the names 'pforumClass', 'tforumClass' and 'uforumClass' with values '__all__' from the form prior to submitting it. HTML is below, followed by a code snippet: 
<form method="POST" action="/forums/cs/dispatch.cgi/_admin/util_button
+Dispatch" onSubmit="return formSubmit()" name="CFO" >
<b>Public Forums:<br></b><select name="pforumClass" multiple size=8>
<option value="__none__" selected>-None-
<option value="__all__">--All--
 --snip--
</select><p>
<b>Team Forums:<br></b><select name="tforumClass" multiple>
<option value="__none__" selected>-None-
<option value="__all__">--All--
</select><p>
<b>User Forums:<br></b><select name="uforumClass" multiple>
<option value="__none__" selected>-None-
<option value="__all__">--All--
</select><p>
<br>
<br>

Code snippet is as follows: 
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
$mech->get("https://www.site.com/forums/cs/dispatch.cgi/_admin/diskUsa
+geForm");
$mech->form_name('CFO');
$mech->select('pforumClass','__all__');
$mech->select('tforumClass','__all__');
$mech->select('uforumClass','__all__');
$mech->click();

My LWP::Debug output informs me :

Illegal value '__all__' for field 'pforumClass' at C:/Perl/site/lib/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 1199
Illegal value '__all__' for field 'tforumClass' at C:/Perl/site/lib/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 1199
Illegal value '__all__' for field 'uforumClass' at C:/Perl/site/lib/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 1199

What am I missing? Gotta be something simple ...
