(Please excuse my question as I am new to both Perl and Mechanize.)

I have this Login page which I am trying to perform a form submit. Below is part of my script so far... 

mech->get('http://acemeweb01/webapp/common/login_JSF.faces');
$mech->form_name('loginForm');
$mech->field('domain_name', 'DEFAULT');
$mech->field('user_name','user');
$mech->field('password','welcome');
$mech->click();

but when I examine the traffic, I notice it does not work because it is missing the additional query string rnd=(some random number). Is there a method I can add additional query string to the POST? I also tried to use post method by appending the query string at the end of the url but then none of the post data are included.

Any pointer is appreicated.
