Re^2: WWW::Mechanize and "Bad <select> tag 'input'"

Here's what mech-dump of the page looks like:

self@wkstn:~/dev$ mech-dump https://somehost/edituser.html
POST https://somehost/edituser.pl [fetchuser]
  referrer=html                  (hidden readonly)
  username=                      (text)
  <NONAME>=Submit                (submit)
[download]

Does that help?

Tells me there's no dropdown called "input" because it doesn't show up in mech-dump. Is it outside the form? Is it dynamically generated by some JavaScript? xoxo, Andy	[reply]

There is no dropdown -- the entire page is display above, with some names changed to protect the innocent. However, I am not dealing withe latest versions of everything, so I've used `no warnings` to keep things quiet -- for now -- and next week I will attempt (this is a new work machine) to update the necessary Perl modules. If I can produce a working example that still causes an error, I'll report it on CPAN. I can't understand it either -- it's very puzzling.
