in reply to A case where Mechanize works, LWP doesn't

With mechanize you are selecting the form you want to post, while in your http request you'll have to do it in your own

You'll have to take a look at the form you're submitting and make sure that it does submit the form to 'bat.html' which is unlikely to be the case.

Look for <form method='post' action='HERE's the action url you'll have to submit your data to'>

    Thanks, but this isn't the case. There is only one form which is being submitted to the correct page: 

    function BATSubmit()
{
   if (checkfields()==false)
      return false;
    handle=EventHandlingNum(document.getElementById('c').value,documen
+t.getElementById('d').value,document.getElementById('e').value,1);
    document.batForm.a=handle;
}

<form name="batForm" ACTION="/bat.html" METHOD="POST" onSubmit="return
+ BATSubmit()">
