in reply to Script using WWW::Mechanize fails to log in

fwi, this is a simplified version that works ok.

Form (monk.html) 

<html>
<head>
<title>test mech</title>
</head>
<body>

<form 
  action="/cgi/process.cgi" 
  METHOD="get" 
  name="enterLogin"
>

<input type="text" size="8" name="id">
<input type="password" size="8" name="pwd">
<input type="image" src="pic/pic01.jpg" border="+0">
</form>

</body>
</html>

The script called by the form (process.cgi)

#!c:\Perl\bin\perl.exe

use warnings;
use strict;              

use CGI::Simple;
use CGI::Carp (qw(fatalsToBrowser));

my $q = CGI::Simple->new();
print $q->header;

my $pwd = $q->param('pwd');
my $id  = $q->param('id');

print "
<html>
<head>
<title>test mech</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>hi there</p>
<p>id: $id</p>
<p>pwd: $pwd</p>
</body>
</html>
";

And the Mech script

#c:/Perl/bin

use warnings;
use strict; 

use WWW::Mechanize;

my $m = WWW::Mechanize->new(
    autocheck=>1
);

my $agent = LWP::UserAgent->new; 
$agent->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new);

$m->get("http://localhost/monk.html");

my $r = $m->submit_form(
  fields => {
    id       => "XXXXXXX",
    pwd => "YYYYYYY",
  }
);

print $m->content;

Output:

Having the image field instead of a submit button didn't seem to hurt.

Hope that helps.
