Hi, I am using Mechanize module to automate log-in to a web page. The code that I have written is 
use WWW::Mechanize;
use Log::Log4perl qw(:easy);

Log::Log4perl->easy_init($ERROR);

# The starting point URL
my $start_url = "http://***.**.**.*:****";
my $ret_val;
my $redir_pattern = 'HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"\s*CONTENT="0;URL=';
my @temp_array;
my $redir_url;

# Create a new instance of WWW::Mechanize

my $agent = WWW::Mechanize->new();

# Retrieve the page
$agent->get($start_url);
my $content = $agent->content();
print $content;

my @links = $agent->find_all_links();
print $#links;

The output that I am getting is, 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

Please note that the HTML contains <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" which find_all_links is not recognizing, as print $#links; is returning -1. Am I doing anything wrong there? Please help... regards Gator
