set_fields crashes
Strange thing is, this worked yesterday. It's been working for months without a problem. But today when I run the script, at a point to set the fields it just hangs up. The script quits without further output. I have:
#1 &dbg("filling fields, " . $username . " " . $password); #2 $bot->set_fields( 'username' => $username, 'password' => $password); #3 &dbg("beyond set fields"); if (! $bot->success) { &log("unable to set form parameters in login"); exit 1; }
I see the message at #1, but I don't see anything after #3. I wonder how to diagnose what's happening. This is on ActiveState Perl, Windows XP, compiled script to executable, the Perl version is 5.8.8, the Mechanize version is 0.72.
