mech errors with - "There is no form named" - when

Code:

use WWW::Mechanize;
$mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(cookie_jar => undef,stack_depth => 0);
....code....
$mech->form_name("myForm");

When i use the code above to screen scrape a webpage using Mech, i get this error SOMETIMES, but not always??
i know 'myForm' is there (for sure). is this something to do with server load?
There is no form named "myForm" at /usr/lib/perl5/Picco/mod/Test.pm line 420
