in reply to Mechanizing around Javascript

There is no form #2 on your login page. I recommend you to rewrite your code like this: 
$mech->get($url);
my $usr = "asdf"; #marked out for post
my $pw = "asdffgg";
$mech->submit_form (
    with_fields => {

        login_name => $usr,
        user_password => $pw,
    },
);

Also there is no need to use follow_link with absolute URL just use get

    Thanks. I have used the get() to receive my page, but I am still having problems getting te file by clicking a button in a form named "searchForm". It doesn't recognize the form id

        performing control+U on the page gives me: 
        <script type="text/javascript" src="/POSecureURL/scripts/SecureURL.js"
+></script>

function startup() {
    forceFrameToTop();
    refreshbottom();    
    window.defaultStatus = "USPS PostalOne!";

function forceFrameToTop(){
