Hello,

I'm using Win32::IE::Mechanize to fill out a web form. One of the fields in the form is designed to allow the user to select multiple options at the same time in one form submission. I'm not seeing how to do this, properly. I'm using set_fields and I've tried

$ie->set_fields(parms=>'var1', parms=>'var2');

and

$ie->set_fields(parms=>'var1');

$ie->set_fields)parms=>'var2');

and neither works. Clearly I am doing something wrong. (I confess to being new to Perl, but not new to programming.) Is it possible this is something 'the Mech' cannot do? (though I doubt that?)

Suggestions? thanks.

In reply to multiple selections in the same field using Mechanize by triskele
