HEH; did I mention spelling is difficult while taking antihistamines?

I don't know what I'm doing differently, but the form is starting to
work.  Now, however, I am running into an older problem I was having
before.

On that form, there are checkboxes and two drop-down box fields.  It is
my understanding that I need to use $mech->tick(); and $mech->select();
to check those boxes, and select options in the drop-down box.  But I
am using $mech->submit_form(); to fill out this form.  How do I use
$mech->tick(); and $mech->select(); in concert with
$mech->submit_form();?  Or, am I going to simply specify the names of
those checkboxes and drop-down boxes as fields?  For example:

$mech->submit_form(
        form_number => 1,
        fields => {
                somecheckbox => $var1,
                dropdown2 => $var2,
        }
);

Will that work?

Thanks!
