Re: WWW:Mechanize Problem

According to Re: Can't find form method in WWW::Mechanize, you should use form_name() instead of form(). Super Search is your friend.

I think that is to specify a form by name, form() is supposed to be used to specify which form on the page. Here is the tutorial i am using http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2003/01/22/mechanize.html	[reply]

The tutorial you're using is over five years old. In the meantime, it appears that `form()` has become `form_number()`. Looking at the WWW::Mechanize documentation, I see no `form()` method listed, but `form_number()` does what you want.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`form()` was valid at the time the tutorial was written (2003) — in the meantime it's `form_name()` (name based) or `form_number()` (numeric index). The change was made to accommodate for the rare case that a form is named "3" (i.e. name, not index)...	[reply] [d/l] [select]
