What steps will reproduce the problem?
$ perl -MWWW::Mechanize -e '
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
$mech->get("http://cpan.org"); # site without form
$mech->click_button(value => "does not exist");
'
Can't call method "find_input" on an undefined value at
/usr/share/perl5/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 1716.
$ perl -MWWW::Mechanize -e '
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
$mech->get("http://perldoc.perl.org"); # site with form
$mech->click_button(value => "does not exist");
'
Can't call method "header" on an undefined value at
/usr/share/perl5/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 2381.
$ perl -MWWW::Mechanize -e '
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
$mech->get("http://cpan.org"); # site without form
$mech->click_button(name => "does not exist");
'
Can't call method "click" on an undefined value at
/usr/share/perl5/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 1705.
$ perl -MWWW::Mechanize -e '
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
$mech->get("http://cpan.org"); # site without form
$mech->click_button(number => 1);
'
Can't call method "find_input" on an undefined value at
/usr/share/perl5/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 1708.
and so on ... that sent me on a merry chase after a typo in a button
identifier.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Something akin to the error message produced by
$ perl -MWWW::Mechanize -e '
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
$mech->get("http://cpan.org/no-such-url");
'
Error GETing http://cpan.org/no-such-url: Not Found at -e line 3
I see the "can't call method 'foo' on an undefined value ..." errors instead.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
$ grep 'our $VERSION' /usr/share/perl5/WWW/Mechanize.pm
our $VERSION = '1.58';
Debian Linux (amd64) sid, Debian-built perl executable 5.10.0
