WWW::Mechanize, tick without value

Marseille07 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I am trying to click a checkbox that looks like the following:

<input id='CategoryId25' type='checkbox' name='CategoryId25'   />
[download]

When I try:

$mech->tick("CategoryId25");
[download]

I get:

No checkbox "CategoryId25" for value "" in form at ./script_one.pl lin
+e 34
[download]

Is there a workaround to click a checkbox without value?
