Re: WWW::Mechanize and forcing POST
Exactly. It's not a bug in Mech. It's badly formed HTML. I was trying to find a way around the badly formed HTML.

Mech IS a browser-in-an-object, but it's not meant to emulate any given browser. There are plenty of things that browsers handle that Mech doesn't, mostly in the badly-formed HTML department. xoa -- Andy Lester = [EMAIL PROTECTED] = www.petdance.com = AIM:petdance smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

Of course, you are right. I didn't explain correctly myself. I meant a bug in the chain of objects (in the system). I didn't know where the bug was, but I knew there was a bug. Juan

The web page I'm trying to script has a bad value for the method ($HTTP_POST_VARS) rather than POST or GET, so Mech dies with an Unknown Method error. Browsers just default to a GET, and it seems to work fine. Being able to change the $request-method() is what I'm looking for. Thanks! Patrick -- gedanken
