Re: WWW::Mechanize question
well, are you passing the authentication credentials when you create the LWP useragent? IIRC, there's a whole section in the LWP documentation on HTTP basic auth... (also, you might want to consider taking your questions over to 'beginn...@perl.org' -- not sure there are that many people on this list anymore.) j.

Re: Testing my CGI
Look at the source code for the module. The 'tick' method just uses a
bare 'return' on success, which means it's going to fail an ok() test
regardless of whether or not it works.
You may also want to look at Test::WWW::Mechanize.

I’m using WWW::Mechanize for testing my CGI.
I’m having trouble with the $mech-tick
Here’s my code :
ok($mech-form_name('cdr_format'),getting form cdr_format);
print pAllFields = . $mech-value('pAllFields') . \n;
219- ok($mech-tick('pAllFields',1), 'Setting checkbox to native CDR
format');
220- ok($mech-tick('pAllFields’,0), 'Setting checkbox to native CDR
format’);
Here’s a snippet of the html :
div id='myForm'
form name='cdr_format' method='POST' action='file_admin.cgi'
input type='hidden' name='rm' value='process_cdr_format'
input type='hidden' name='CGISESSID'
value='ec4c3463d5a7f9d04d2924968413f240'
input type='hidden' name='cdr_format' value='1'
table border='0' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='0' width='100%'
tr
td class='fieldLabel' width='60%'
We would like the files in native CDR format:
/td
td class='field'
input type='checkbox' class='checkbox' name='pAllFields' value='1'
/td
/tr
When I execute I get this :
ok 40 - getting form cdr_format
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
./test_cportal.pl line 218.
pAllFields =
not ok 41 - Setting checkbox to native CDR format
# Failed test 'Setting checkbox to native CDR format'
# at ./test_cportal.pl line 219.
not ok 42 - Setting checkbox to native CDR format
# Failed test 'Setting checkbox to native CDR format'
# at ./test_cportal.pl line 220.
Here’s the documentation from WWW::Mechanize
$mech-tick( $name, $value [, $set] )
Ticks the first checkbox that has both the name and value associated with
it on the current form. Dies if there is no named check box for that value.
Passing in a false value as the third optional argument will cause the
checkbox to be unticked.
