More important - the error says:
"There is no form named "search""
You can check forms' names with: 
>mech-dump http://www.letssingit.com

    Which means you (the OP) should be using: 
    ...

my $url = "http://www.letssingit.com/frame_menu.html";

my $query = ...;

...

$mech->submit_form(
   form_name => 'search', 
   fields    => {
      s => $query,
      l => 'song',  # or 'artist' or 'album' or 'lyrics'.

      # The only button doesn't have a name, so no
      # need to put anything here for the button.
   },
);

...

      Hi. Thanks for the updated code I have one last question.

      I need to know what's on the page now so I'm trying to do a page dump using $mech->uri() but it's printing out a URL instead of the HTML and all that. What do I use to get the page to load?

        That's what $mech->uri() does. Perhaps you need to read the WWW::Mechanize documentation a bit more carefully?
