RE: a way to get at form tag attributes?

Mark,

Looking at the docs, I couldn't see a way either. :/

So, I whipped up a quick example with HTML::TokeParser::Simple. It's
searching for "size" rather than "maxlength", but you get the idea.

use WWW::Mechanize;
use HTML::TokeParser::Simple;

my $www = WWW::Mechanize->new;
$www->get( 'http://search.cpan.org/' );

my $content = $www->content;

my $p = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new( \$content );

while ( my $token = $p->get_token ) {
        next unless $token->is_tag( 'input' );
        my $attr = $token->return_attr;
        print 'size = ' . $attr->{ size } if $attr->{ size };
}
