WWW::Mechanize with frames

Hi,

I'm trying to do some screen scraping from a site using frames. Using
WWW::Mechanize gives back an 'error' page from the site rather than the
data I wanted:

<html>
<head>
<title>BRENDA: Entry of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase
(phosphorylating)(EC-Number 1.2.1.12 )</title>
</head>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN\"
\"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd\";>
<frameset cols="190,*" border="0">
<frame name="navigation" src="flat_navigation.php4?ecno=1.2.1.12"
frameborder="no">
<frameset rows="110,*" border="0">
<frame name="header" src="flat_head.php4?ecno=1.2.1.12&organism="
frameborder="no">
<frame name="flat" src="flat_result.php4?ecno=1.2.1.12&organism%5B%5D="
frameborder="no">
</frameset>
</frameset>
<noframes><h2>Sorry, but your browser doesn't support frames. Please
use another browser!</h2>
</noframes>
</html>

Does anyone have any experience of screen scraping from sites that use
frames? Am I missing something obvious?
