I've been trying to do what you suggested, but I don't know how to use
Mech and HTML::Form together,
For example, the html page that has the form is the result of a previous
form that I get with Mechanize using this:

 my $response = $mech->submit_form();

then I set the form value and form data with these:

 my $form = HTML::Form->parse($response);
 $form->action("strPage");
 $form->value("txtRateSheetID", "20000");
 $form->value("txtAction", "VIEW");
 $form->value("txtLevelTypeID", "1");
 $form->value("txtCategoryTypeID", "9");
 $form->value("txtRateSheetTypeID", "1");

now, how can I retrieve the contents of this form and save it using
$mech->save_contents ?
