in reply to can't get www::mechanize::firefox to work

Maybe explicitly set the port. It seems weird that WWW::Mechanize::Firefox would fail where telnet works. Maybe $ENV{MOZREPL} is set?

    I added 

    $ENV{MOZREPL} = "localhost:4242";

    but that didn't change anything.

      That's weird.

      From the test scripts all skipping, it seems that telnet can connect. So I suggest you consult with your system administrator as to why that would be while Firefox cannot connect from the same machine.

        I was reading the documentation for MozRepl and found this:

        In cygwin, please add binmode param as 1 in client args. 

            $repl->setup({
        client => {
            extra_client_args => {
                binmode => 1
            }
        }
    });

        Is the above relevant to www::mechanize::firefox? How would I implement the above using the functions included in www::mechanize::firefox?
