Hi everybody, I have a problem using WWW::Mechanize::Firefox to upload a file to a site with a form using an input type file, like this : 

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST
+" id="formular">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
Choose a file to upload: <input name="image0" type="file" id="image0"/
+><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />

[download]

The content of uploader.php is the following : 

<?php
$target_path = "uploads/";

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['image0']['name']); 

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image0']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['image0']['name']). 
    " has been uploaded";
} else{
    echo "There was an error uploading the file,".  basename( $_FILES[
+'image0']['name'])." please try again!";
}
?>

[download]

And the code I use for uploading the file is the following : 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox;

my $bot = WWW::Mechanize::Firefox->new( autoclose => 0,activate =>1);

$bot->get('http://127.0.0.1/file/index.html');
$bot->form_id('formular');
$bot->field('image0','IMAGE.JPG');
$bot->submit;

[download]

There is no error at execution, and the form is submited but without nothing in image0.

The version of WWW::Mechanize::Firefox I use is 0.66 my perl version is : v5.10.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread

Thanks
