I havent had a chance to look at the site, but what youre describing is
something i come across every once and a while. Instead of using a
submit, try using a click() instead [with whatever the button name is].
ive had cases where using submit just seems to reload the same page, where
clicking the submit button 'manually' works great.

Hello all,
I am trying to use the WWW::Mechanize module to script a login to a site
and check some numbers. Seems pretty easy, I did it successfully with my
own site as a test, but now I'm trying to use it on
www.terrorexchange.com. It's one of those faux stock-exchange sims
loosely based on current events. Anyway, the program is little and
simple:
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
$mech -> agent_alias( 'Windows IE 6' ); #i've tried several agents here.
$mech -> get("http://www.terrorexchange.com/";);
$mech -> follow_link( text => 'Login' );
$mech -> field("txtEmail" => "my_emailaddress");
$mech -> field("txtPassword" => "my password");
$mech -> submit();
If you look at the site, it seems pretty cut and dry. But for some
reason, the submit isn't working. I just keep getting the login page.
There are some funny redirect things going on with the site, so I don't
know if that's it. I've looked at the response content for each step and
it all looks good until after the submit. Almost like it's not doing
anything.
Can anyone take a look and see if I'm just missing something stupid? (Or
just being stupid)
Thanks!
Nick
