Interesting, both click() and make_request() yield the same result
here, excluding the name/value of the submit button in both cases:

     my $f = HTML::Form->parse(<<'EOT', "http://localhost/");
     <form>
        <input type=submit value="Upload it!" name=n>
        <input type=text name=t value="1">
     </form>
     EOT

     print $f->make_request->as_string(), "\n";

which prints

     GET http://localhost/?t=1

I'd venture that the submit button should be included in both cases,
but I'd have to check the standard to be sure.
