WWW::Mechanize is a subclass of LWP::UserAgent, so this should work: `$mech->add_handler("request_send", sub { shift->dump; return }); $mech->add_handler("response_done", sub { shift->dump; return });` [download] After that, do you see the request after you `click_button()`?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Ok, so the `add_handler` call showed a bunch of log messages. Below is the excerpt of the log GET https://www.myreports.com/tax_report.php?dc_range=Y&dc_date1=7%2F9 +%2F2012&dc_date2=7%2F9%2F2012 Accept-Encoding: gzip Referer: https://www.myreports.com/admin/ User-Agent: WWW-Mechanize/1.72 Cookie: PHPSESSID=df9f4mmljub54dfi0vvdm2lh12 Cookie2: $Version="1" (no content) HTTP/1.1 200 OK Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0 Connection: close Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2012 00:00:30 GMT Pragma: no-cache Server: Apache Vary: Accept-Encoding,User-Agent Content-Encoding: gzip Content-Length: 555 Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT Client-Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2012 00:00:31 GMT Client-Peer: xx.xx.xx.xx:xxx Client-Response-Num: 1 Client-SSL-Cert-Issuer: /C=GB/ST=Greater Manchester/L=Salford/O=COMODO + CA Limited/CN=COMODO High-Assurance Secure Server CA Client-SSL-Cert-Subject: /C=US/postalCode=75238/ST=Texas/L=Dallas/stre +et=10300 Sanden Dr Suite 100/O=SpeedFC/OU=PlatinumSSL Wildcard/CN=*.m +yreports.com Client-SSL-Cipher: DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA Client-SSL-Warning: Peer certificate not verified [download] The only warning I can see is the last line, looks like the SSL certificate cannot be verified.

The warning is due to LWP::UserAgent not verifying the certificate. You can make it verify if you want (look at ssl_opts()), but that doesn't seem to be your problem. This debug excerpt doesn't look like the part we are interested in. Move the `add_handler()` calls to just before you call click_button(). You just want to verify whether or not the form is being submitted, in which case you'll see the request and then hopefully a response. If you don't see a request then you know for sure click_button() isn't working, but I can't tell you why it wouldn't be. If you can't get `click_button()` to go you could work around it- build the request like you would if you were just using LWP::UserAgent. Not ideal but sometimes you gotta just get things working.

I have used the below which is somewhat similar to what you mentioned `my $inputobject=$mech->current_form()->find_input( undef,'submit' ); print $inputobject->value . "\n"; $mech->click_button(input => $inputobject); print $mech->status() . "\n";` [download] The `$inputobject` shows the correct button element as in the HTML source and the second print returns a status of 200 which apparently stands for OK. All of this still doesn't work, can't even see any errors anywhere. I attempted including `LWP::Debug qw(+);` in the code, but its not returning me any logging info either	[reply] [d/l] [select]
