in reply to How to fill textarea of a webpage fetched using WWW::Mechanize::Firefox ?

As an aside, I suggest you find the author of that page, if possible, and wring his neck for being so brain-dead as to not use id or name tags on page elements. If it is not possible to do that, and if you have the ability to maintain the page, I suggest going through and putting id's and names on every element.

You must always remember that the primary goal is to drain the swamp even when you are hip-deep in alligators.

    This is not my page. It is some website on the internet.

      Then find out some author of that page? :)
