$mech->submit_form( ... )
This method lets you select a form from the previously fetched page,
fill in its fields, and submit it. It combines the form_number/form_name,
set_fields and click methods into one higher level call. Its arguments
are a list of key/value pairs, all of which are optional.

Clicks on button button (calls "click()")
