Subject: Unable to mechanize page with no forms
A page I'm trying to automate (www.gotomypc.com) has several text fields and a submit button, but no forms! The Mechanize module dies at line 351, where you look for the current form without allowing for a 0 form. Perhaps you can look for the fields on a page outside of a form if the form number is 0. I'm running ActiveState Perl Build 23:15:13 on Windows NT

This is a bummer. You should still be able to follow links, even without forms. I'll see what I can do. Thanks, Andy -- 'Andy Lester andy@petdance.com Programmer/author petdance.com Daddy parsley.org/quinn Jk'=~/.+/s;print((split//,$&) [unpack'C*',"n2]3%+>\"34.'%&.'^%4+!o.'"])

Interesting. The home page DOES have one form on it.

Your fetch of the page is failing. Try running the following and take a look at the Dumper dump of the response. #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Data::Dumper; use WWW::Mechanize; my $url = "http://www.gotomypc.com/"; my $agent = WWW::Mechanize->new(); my $response = $agent->get($url); print Dumper( $response ), "\n"; my $found_uri = $agent->uri(); print "$found_uri found\n"; $agent->form_number(1) or $agent->form_name("LogIn") or die "Form not found"
