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

disabled form fields?
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.
