I'm having trouble getting buttons to fire on a web page that has several unamed buttons via Mechanize.

1. I tried mech->submit_form() which failed to click the button but correctly updated the form values. (As expected.)

2. Next I tried following the submit_form() by a click_button(number => 3) and when that failed I tried click_button(value => "Save'n Start". Both of these failed to work.

3. So then I tried individually setting the form values via form_number() and 3 field(name,val) follwed by the two click_button calls. Again, no luck and this time the form values were not updated either.

Any ideas?
