Hey there,

I'm currently working on a script, that should click on a specified link in a website. For this I am using Pelr with the WWW::Mechanize::Firefox module.

I'm trying to use this to click on the Link

use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox;
my $firefox = WWW::Mechanize::Firefox -> new (
tab => "current",
);

$firefox -> click ({ selector => 'a[href*="2012-06-20"]'});

When I run the script it just does nothing, so I tried to find any CSS selectors on this page, but somehow they cannot be found.

Someone knows a solution to get the CSS selectors ? Kind regards

Update : This is the part of HTML in which I want to access the link
