in thread javascript login

I put strict off and it gives no errors, then i ran it and it gave line 6 unknown agent 'firefox' and line 1900 of mechanize.pm says there is no form numbered 2, How can i resolve the first error and where does it say the form of html? sorry I am slow in this but I appreciate your help very much:) 
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
$mech->agent_alias( 'Firefox' );
$userid  = "usr";
$password = "password";
$mech->get( "https://login.binck.nl/klanten/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fkl
+anten%2fdefault.aspx" );
$mech->submit_form(
    form_number => 2,
    fields => {
        userid => "$userid",
        password => "$password"
    },
    button => "btnSignon"
);

    I put strict off and it gives no errors,
    It is recommended to put it back on and declare variables properly.

    then i ran it and it gave line 6 unknown agent 'firefox'
    This is because there is no agent alias called "Firefox". Use known_agent_aliases() to get available names, for example: 
    $ perl -MWWW::Mechanize -E'say join ", ",WWW::Mechanize::known_agent_a
+liases'

    and line 1900 of mechanize.pm says there is no form numbered 2
    Try using Data::Dumper and forms() method to get the list of forms available for WWW::Mechanize.

    Sorry if my advice was wrong.

        mechanize.pm gives an error because when i
