hi esteemed monks, i'm trying to use the perl module www::mechanize to submit a form over a https connection with name/password. my issue is that some of the form fields names contain parentheses and this appears to upset the perl module. i get a 'Scalar found where operator expected' error. the form has elements like: <input name="parameter(day)" id="parameter(day)" type="text" is there a way round this? -- ignore this - it was a red herring
