Corion, update: updated select to option (as thats the type ) I tried the find_all_inputs() but am getting this error. (I am not sure if select option is called select? or option? did try both and still got this error. Any help would be appreciated!! 
my @teacher_input = $mech->find_all_inputs( { 
                                              type     => 'option',
                          name     => 'teacher',
                        }
                                         );

I was using the example in the WM doc, and used type instead of type_regex. 
  # get all text or textarea controls called "customer"
    my @customer_text_inputs =
        $mech->find_all_inputs( {
            type_regex => qr/^(text|textarea)$/,
            name       => 'customer',
        }
    );

Thanks for help once again in advance!
