Returns the type of this input. The type is one of the following strin
+gs: "text", "password", "hidden", "textarea", "file", "image", "submi

    Ah yes, that is exactly what I was looking for =D I guess I'll reply to this if there is any more trouble. Thanks.


    EDIT: It is outputting the same thing =(

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Here is my code relevant to the issue: 
    use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize;
use HTML::Form;
use LWP::UserAgent;

my $url = "a valid url to an .aspx form here";

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(autocheck => 1);
$mech->get( $url ) or die("Could not connect to $url");

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $response = $ua->get($url);

my @forms = HTML::Form->parse($response);

foreach my $page (1..15) {
    foreach my $form (@forms) {
        my @fields = "";
        @fields = $form->inputs;
        foreach my $hurr (0..$#fields) {
            print "$fields[$hurr]\t $page / 15\n";
        }
    }
}

      As i see you don't read docs :-(

      foreach my $form (@forms) {

   my @fields = $form->inputs;
     
   foreach my $input (@fields) {

       print $input->type() . "\t $page / 15\n";
   }
}

        There is a difference between reading and comprehending ;)

        I don't have time right now (and might not for a week) to further look into the problem, but thanks for your help (if what you provided helps).

        It works =D
        Thanks for helping out.

    Don't use pre tags, use code tags.

      Thanks for your above post, it is useful for me. However I'm not able to find any form on my page. I used all form options available with www::mechanize. The page is jsp page and the only form tag available in source code is as mentioned below. 

             <form action="html" method="post">
            <input type="submit" name="clearAllCaches" value="Clear Al
+l Caches" style="margin:1em;" />
        </form>
