Hi monks,

I'm having a bit of trouble with my first foray into this module. Here's my sample code:

use Win32::IE::Mechanize;

my $ie = Win32::IE::Mechanize->new( visible => 1 );
my $url = "https://somesecuresite";
my $formName = "loginForm";

$ie->get( $url );

$ie->form_name( $formName );

$ie->set_fields( userName => 'username', password => 'password' );

[download]

As expected, the browser opens up and goes to the specified URL. However, the text doesn't get entered into the fields. I get this error: Can't call method "find_input" on an undefined value at C:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/IE/Mechanize.pm line

I'm also not sure how to click the login button afterwards because it's an image.
