Hi

I'm creating an autposter using Mechanize and I can get 1 of my 4 fields to post (the TITLE is the only one that works). The code I am using is 
    $mech->submit_form(
        form_name =>'post',
            fields => 
            {
              'post_title'      => $title,
              'newtag[post_tag]'=> $tags,
              'post_category[]' => [$cat],
              'content'         => $content    
            }
    ) or die "Error: $!";

The HTML code for TAGS is 
<input type="text" id="new-tag-post_tag" name="newtag[post_tag]"

[download]
The HTML for post category is (with many choices, all with a different value. 
<input value="1" type="checkbox" name="post_category[]

[download]
And finally, CONTENT should be 
<textarea rows='20' class='theEditor' cols='40' name='content' tabinde
+x='2'

All the variables contain data, I know it's not trying to post nul values. It's just not posting those fields. Can anyone see what's wrong?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
