You have to read through the javascript by hand and see what it does, then reset the href value of the link you are trying to click, then you can do ->follow_link. For example, my bank's web site does some javascript with some radio buttons before setting the form's "action" property. So I looked through the javascript to see what url I need the action set to for me, and I used the WWW::Mechanize API to set the action with perl code before ->submit()ting the form. Either that or write some glue to get WWW::Mechanize to support javascript ;0).
