Hi everyone.

I was hoping someone could help me find a way to dynamically add fields to a WWW::Mech form. It's easier to show than explan what I need to do. 
     my @cats = split(", ", $email_cat);
     
     $mech->submit_form(
         form_name =>'post',
             fields => 
             {
               'post_title' =>  '',
               'post_category[]' => ''       
             }
     );

post_category is a checkbox field with a name shared with lots of other checkboxes. They are all numerically named though, so there is a post_category[] checkbox with a value of 1, just like there is of 2 and 3. I need to create just the checkboxes for those listed in $cats in the above example. They are comma and space separated. Let's pretend.. 
my @cats = (1, 2, 5, 10, 44);

How do I make the number of post_category references dynamic to the size and values of my @cats? I hope this makes sense but
