Hi Billy -

Are any of the forms in the templates displayed conditionally? (I.e.,
are there forms inside IF blocks in the templates.)

If not -- if all the forms are always shown -- then yes, the numbers
should be stable.

My suggestion would be to just add unique identifiers to the forms,
because then you won't have to worry about it.

chrs,
john.

well, are you passing the authentication credentials when you create
the LWP useragent?

IIRC, there's a whole section in the LWP documentation on HTTP basic auth...

(also, you might want to consider taking your questions over to
'begi...@perl.org' -- not sure there are that many people on this
list anymore.)
