almut,

I tried what you did, and I got the same result. You were right this defect has been fixed.

After some investigation, I realized that the web server was sending different html depending on the user agent. Without setting a user agent the html did not include __EVENTTARGET and __EVENTARGUMENT. So I set my user agent to windows, as follows:

$mech->agent_alias("Windows IE 6");

This fixed the problem. Thanks for setting me on the right track!
