Subject: Mechanize and charset issues

I'm not sure what is causing this error as I can successfully login, I
just can't submit this form without the script bombing out.

formatstring = "testing submission"

agent = WWW::Mechanize.new
page = agent.get 'hidden'
form = page.forms.first
if !(form.action.eql?('submit.php'))
        p "logging in....."
        form['username'] = 'hidden'
        form['password'] = 'hidden'

        page = agent.submit form
        page = agent.click(page.link_with(:text => 'Add'))
end

page = agent.click(page.link_with(:text => '[Add Content]'))
uploadForm = page.forms[6]
uploadForm['format'] = formatstring
page = agent.submit uploadForm
#pp page

Gives me the error:
