Re: WWW:Mechanize problems

Some other things to consider:

Your code dies on $mech->set_fields(...), because you haven't told $mech which form you're operating on
Calling $mech->submit_form takes you away from the current page, so any subsequent iteration over @webforms is likely to fail

Hints:

$mech->form_name
$mech->back
WWW::Mechanize
HTML::Form

Awesome! Check this out: `Hit form loop on form:1 Hit inputfield loop submitting request to form:1 Hit form loop on form:2 Hit inputfield loop submitting request to form:2 Hit form loop on form:3 Hit inputfield loop matched firstname regex submitting request to form:3 Hit form loop on form:4 Hit inputfield loop submitting request to form:4` [download] It's working with the first form, and then I'm using mech->back because it navigated away from the page, as you suggested (nice catch). Any tips on how to iterate through subsequent forms after performing mech->back?	[reply] [d/l]
