WWW::Mechanize "There is no Form named (...)" VBSome 12-08-2004

 I am playing around with WWW::Mechanize.

I am looking at the HTML for a web site and see:
<form name="PSForm" method="post" action="/res/avail.mi?isSearch=false"
onSubmit="return ValidateFrm();"

In Code I use:
$agent->form_name("PSForm")

And then Perl tells me that:
There is no form named "PSForm" at myscript.pl Line 22

HELP!! What is that all about?? I can see the form in the HTML source, but
when I ask Mechanize for ->forms, the array remains empty.... HUH??

TIA!

 Found it!!

It helps if Crypt::SSLeay is installed when dealing with secure sockets
(https).

I was fooled by the fact that even if SSLeay is not installed Mech
can ->get("https://...")

Hmm!
