Unfortunately, the only way I can target the button is to use the key/value pair I have used in the code. The HTML is a bit odd, but it belongs to a third party and I have little control over it. It looks like below (posting just the body portion of it which includes the logon form)-

<body>
    <h1>Account &nbsp;--&nbsp; Log In</h1>
    
    <div id="content">
        <form method="post">
        <table id="login" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
            <tr>
                <th colspan="2" class="right">Log In</th>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td class="label">Username:</td>
                <td class="right">
                    <input type="text" name="login" value="" size="15"
+/>                    
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td class="label">Password:</td>                    
                <td class="right">
                    <input type="password" name="passwd" size="15"/>
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <th colspan="2" class="last">
                    <input type="submit" value="Login now"/>
                </th>
            </tr>
        </table>
        <input type="hidden" name="action" value="login"/>
        </form> 
   
        <a href="/">Speed Fulfillment & Call Center Home</a>
    </div>
</body>

as you can see that the button is actually a form submit element. So having said this, i have also tried $mech->submit() , but it did not work either.
