in thread Not able to select the form with WWW::Mechanize::Firefox using form_with_fields()

Hence please let me know for any other work around for this issue by avoiding the function form_with_fields().

If you don't want to use form_with_fields, then you can use any other form... function, your choice

    The given HTML form does not have a formId or form Name. Hence I cannot use any of those. And with form_number it returned "Current form:4 elements found for form number 1". Hence I am really blocked due to this issue.

      I don't understand how you are blocked. How is form_number not working for you?

        There are 4 forms in the web page. When trying to select the first form, it shows that there are 4 elements with form number 1. Also when trying to select forms 2, 3 or 4, it gives error.

        This issue might be because of poorly written webpage. Since I have no control over this, I cannot select this form.

        But while using WWW::Mechanize, I am able to select any forms with the form number. Also I am able to do successful submission. Since some other forms use java script, I am not using this module. I just wanted to avoid clutter by using both modules in the same script.
