WM: submit_form( with_fields => { submit => 'some value' } ) won't POST the "submit" parameter

[spazm]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have a form with two submit elements named 'submit' but having different
values (example:
http://github.com/marcusramberg/mojomojo/blob/9bfd143fa0247a5cc15b626d58eda65c183c10a2/root/base/page/edit.tt#L58)
2. Run this code:

$mech->submit_form(
    submit => 'Save and View',
    with_fields => {
        body => '...'
    }
)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The 'submit' field is not posted. A functional workaround that posts the
'submit' field is:

$mech->form_with_fields('body');
$mech->field(body => '...')
ok $mech->click_button(value => 'Save and View');

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

WWW::Mechanize 1.58 on Windows XP SP3.

Attached test case showing failure on *nix (hangs on Windows - see issue #116).

This is a bug in LWP, not in Mechanize.  I have submitted a patch to have it fixed:
