bcdeery,

Though it is considered (by some) rude to answer a question with another question, are you using WWW::Mechanize or Win32::IE::Mecahnize? The reason I ask is that click that button calls the JavaScript function goToPage, and WWW::Mechanize does not support JavaScript.

However to answer your question you can use the $mech->click_button method to click the nth button such as $mech->click_button(number=>3);. You may want to check out what the JavaScript does, it is perhaps possible to achieve what it is doing using Perl. Remember if in doubt read the documentation. Also, you have shown us the snippit of the HTML in question, but not your Perl code that is throwning the error.

Update: Slight change of formatting.

Hope this helps.

Martin
