Mechanize and Post?

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I know the issue or lack of support for javascript that www::Mechanize has so I've installed live-headers for firefox and done some research. The final result I end up with is a simple URL that I need to post using my exsiting instance of mechanize (while I'm logged in).
Does any one have any ideas how I might accomplish this?

Thanks in advance

Well I think you don't need Mech, just LWP::UserAgent. non-Perl: Andy Ford	[reply]

Or, since WWW::Mechanize is a subclass of LWP::UserAgent, you could just use LWP::UserAgent's method post() on the mechanize object. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]

So is it as simple as something like this: `my $url = 'http://somewebsite?with_form_data'; $mech->post( $url );` [download] using my current $mech object?	[reply] [d/l]
