Sorry, here it is

        my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
        print "Accessing $url\n";
        $mech->get($url);
        print "Downloading the file...";
        $mech->click_button (value => "TAB");
        $mech->save_content( $full_path );
        print "Done.\n";

The WWW::Mechanize documentation says that click_button works on the "current Form", which might be the source of your problem. There's a search form before the form you are interested in. So you might need to invest some effort into selecting the right form. Perl 6 - second systems done right	[reply]
