Subject: Submitting form In mech
Hi! I'm using Mech to crawl through a Web site with forms. When I come across a page with forms I fill them out and save them for later to submit. I then continue with crawling and when I run out of regular urls I submit some of the forms. My problem is that as far as I can tell the submit_form method in Mech looks for forms in the current html. Is there any way of passing a previously fetched form as argument to any of the Mech methods and submitting that? Thanx!

This a support request rather than a bug report. Please direct such inquiries to one of the mailing lists listed in the documentation: http://search.cpan.org/~petdance/WWW-Mechanize-1.16/lib/WWW/Mechanize.pm#ONLINE_RESOURCES Mark
