Re^2: Click button not working in WWW::Mechanize

Strange wfsp, I tried to comment out "$mech->submit()" but it still does not give the result as you get (i.e. same old output). Did you use the exact code I have in my OP?

BTW I am running under Linux, could it bet the case?

Linux myhost.com.sg 2.6.9-34.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Feb 24 16:54:53 EST 2006
+ i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Sorry, forgot to mention that I also removed: `name => "action",` [download] because all the buttons had that name. `#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use WWW::Mechanize; my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(); my $tf_add = "http://rulai.cshl.edu/cgi-bin/SCPD/getgene2?ARG1"; $mech->get($tf_add); $mech->set_fields( 'start' => -450, 'end' => 50 ); # this part works # but not this: $mech->click_button( value => "Retrieve sequence" ); #$mech->submit(); my $result = $mech->content(); print "$result\n";` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

name   => "action",

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize;   

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();

my $tf_add = "http://rulai.cshl.edu/cgi-bin/SCPD/getgene2?ARG1";
$mech->get($tf_add); 

$mech->set_fields( 'start' => -450, 'end' => 50 ); # this part works

# but not this:

$mech->click_button( 
  value  => "Retrieve sequence"
);

#$mech->submit();

my $result = $mech->content();
print "$result\n";
