It is impossible right now. On the other hand it is not very hard to
add ability to tell HTTP::WebTest which form to use. I just not sure
about interface. How do you want to specify form to use? Form number
on page? Form name (given that you set it with name attribute)?

You can either set it in the perl script or in on_request/on_response
hooks in first test block. I have plans to add additional hooks to be
run at the begining and at the end of test sequence.
