Mech via HTML::Form can handle multiple form elements with the same name.
There was a bug a few years ago w/ multiple selects of the same name
but that was fixed in libwww-perl 5.813 in 2008.

There are a few ways to do this, one is:

$mech->field( $name, $value, $index );

Where $index is the number of the form element starting at 1 and
$value is either a scalar or if it is a select it can also be a
hashref of the form {n => $n}
