I've been maintaining an automated test suite for a fairly complex web application via mech for a while. mech++.
I see a few things you might want to look at in your code:
- This snippet:
cmp_ok($mech->form_name('login'), '==', undef, "Logged in correctly. Page no longer shows logout option.");
Should probably say "Logged in correctly. Page no longer shows login option."
- I'm guessing there is a mechanism for users to log out insead of remembering rm=logout. Instead of hard coding that, why not verify the logout functionality exists as displayed by the user and when the click it, it logs out.
- Instead of just checking for $mech->success, perhaps you should check for some content in the page. Just because your CGI returns 200 doesn't mean that all is "ok".

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).
