Invalid rule, couldn't parse '//*[@name="date", node => $mech->current
+_form ]'
This looks as if you're mixing Perl code and an XPath expression in the same string.
my @date_fields =$mech->selector( './/*[@name="date"]', node => $mech
+->current_form );
# stderr: Invalid rule, couldn't parse '//*[@name="date"]' at /usr/loc
+al/share/perl/5.26.1/HTML/Selector/XPath.pm line 283.
This is weird - I think this should still parse as an XPath expression. Does the following work and give the expected result?
my @date_fields =$mech->xpath( './/*[@name="date"]', node => $mech->c
+urrent_form );
With version 0.48 of WWW::Mechanize::Chrome, ->set_fields now also supports selecing input elements by their name and index:
$mech->set_fields(
date => [3, $date_value],
);

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).
