I am not that expert on WWW::Mechanize but lately I have been trying do something similar to this, and so far I haven't had much luck with it. But looks to me your issue is JavaScript. If you take closer look at the "loginform" they call a quicklogin() function. WWW::Mechanize doesn't deal with javascript. Search for LWP on cpan and try LWP->agent.

Your problem is right here... (at least the way I think...)
<form method="post" name="loginform" action="https://login.facebook.co
+m/login.php" onsubmit="quicklogin();">

Title:
Use: <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).

Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
