I have been wanting to scrape a site using WWW::Mechanize::Firefox. I can successfully fill in the first form, but the second one seems to have a strange submit button that I am unable to click. 
use strict;
use warnings;
use local::lib;
use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox;

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Firefox->new( autoclose => 0 );
$mech->get('http://www.rightmove.co.uk/');
# Filling in and submitting the first forms works:
$mech->submit_form(
                   with_fields => {
                                   searchLocation => 'N1',
                                  }
                  );
# The second form I can't work out....
$mech->submit_form({with_fields => {'sortByPriceDescending'=>''}});
#This was the otherway I thought of doing it, 
#$mech->click({xpath => '//*[@id="submit"]'});

I know that I could just work out the url scheme for the results page and go there directly, but I was trying to do it the 'correct' way, and have all the javascript run, etc.

In short how do I "click" the 'Find properties" button on the second page?
