stuck with WWW::Mechanize drop down listby abualiga (Scribe) |

abualiga has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Hi Monks, I'm a perl beginner and am learning to use the www::mechanize module to get a list of genome sequencing projects from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/wgs/. After I fill in the form, I cannot figure out how to select 'All' from the 'Show projects on page' listbox. I tried 'find_all_inputs' with 'select' as criteria for a listbox, but nothing gets assigned to the variable. My other issue is not being able to click on the 'Download as TAB delimited list' link to output results to file. I can complete this task using the browser, but then I don't learn. Below are the few lines of code I have so far. Your advice will be a great help. many thanks!
