What else could be causing this problem?

Did you run the test suite successfully?

    UPDATE: Apparently none of the tests ran successfully. I walked away from my computer while the install was running and when I came back I only looked at the bottom line that said Result: PASS.

    In reality, it looks like the vast majority of the tests failed. I reran the tests and here is the actual output (I get the same output if I try to resintall the module using CPAN):

    Given the above, it appears my perl script is never connecting to mozrepl. As I said previously, I have verified that mozrepl is running and can connect to it using "telnet localhost 4242".

    Does anyone have any ideas?

Re^2: can't get www::mechanize::firefox to work
by Special_K (Pilgrim) on Apr 13, 2013 at 18:01 UTC

    I installed www::mechanize::firefox through CPAN, which should automatically run the tests, correct? Based on my admittedly limited experience using CPAN, it won't by default install any module that fails its built in tests.
