I'm using www::mechanize to submit a form to a website, and one of the

Thanks,

You might have to use a lower-level interface to do this. WWW::Mechanize is built upon LWP::UserAgent, so the simple way would be to just use LWP::UserAgent to create and send the POST request.

A better but more complicated way to do it would be to use WWW::Mechanize to get the initial form. Then you'd extract the form from the WWW::Mechanize object, assign the form names and values to a hash, add your desired field to the hash, and send the POST request using LWP::UserAgent.

Good luck.
