Need Help in WWW::Mechanize module

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

I am using this module to fetch the web pages. At one stage I struggled to get the form details which is there inside the tag.
How can I get it?
My actual requirement is to click the button inside the form. But the form is inside the table. When I was using forms() method it returns empty array. I also tried with click_button() method this tells an error as "Can't call method "click" on an undefined value at /usr/share/perl5/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 1403".

Sounds like there is something wrong with your code. Perhaps you should post the code you are using, and the HTML page you are working with, while paying attention to Writeup Formatting Tips and How do I post a question effectively?, so that we can advise further. Martin	[reply]

Try using mech-dump to debug the form. It will show you what forms are available and what data they expect. If mech-dump doesn't see any forms, then you might have to view the page source. It is possible the form is built with javascript, which isn't handled by mech.	[reply]
