There is no module named Mech::Perl. If you are talking about WWW::Mechanize as your unshown code seems to imply, please read WWW::Mechanize to find what attributes the parameters for ->follow_link act on. You will find that none act on the onClick attribute and none of them act on <input... elements. Please also review the documentation of ->tick to find out what its arguments are and how they work. Especially, passing the result of a regular expression match makes little sense, and there is no hint in the documentation that passing a regular expression like qr/\s/ would be supported.

It would help us to help you better if you provided a short, 10-20 line, self-contained working example that reproduces the error. For example something like the following:

#!perl -w
use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize;

my HTML = <<HTML;
<html>
<body>
<form>
<input ...
</form>
</body>
</html>
HTML

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
$mech->update_html($html);

$mech->tick(...);
