Re: Task-Mechanistic-Firefox now running on port localhost:52074

Ignore this module (see your previous thread for reasons why) and install WWW::Mechanize::Firefox as described in the documentation (again, see your previous thread, and all your other posts on the subject).

If you don't stop ignoring the advice people give you, they're likely to stop replying to you. If you don't want to do this consider an alternative hobby/career, or hire someone to do this for you. At one point you did successfully install this module. Often you make it sound like this has never worked for you, which is clearly not the case.

hello dear Marto many thanks for the hints - the advices and -yes for your kind words. Youre right. Once upon a time the Mechanize::FireFox runned well and without any issue. But - the sad thing is: i do not know how i solved the issues with the prerequisites. And there are some dependencies that can be handeled only from wise perl-experts. The hard thing is that i face that CPAN does not handle all dependencies, Isn't it supposed to handle all dependencies automatically? Khen, the guy that put together all this told this - since there are loads of dependencies that need to be installed before we can install Mechanize. Sure, CPAN does exactly what it is told to do. The authors of the dependencies are supposed to to tell it to install prerequisites: however, apparently they don't always do that, so some dependencies end up in the wind, causing the problems that we are encountering. so Marto - if i were able to install the original Mechanize:: FireFox i would be happy - but i think that it is hardly possible for me since there are tricky things involved - concerning the prerequisites and the conditions that need to be set up before we are able to install. If you can tell me where my issues are rootet in i would be happy. meanwhile i AM HAPPY with the Task::Mechanistic::FireFox but i would be happy if i am able to understand what i did wrong with the installation without any ironic touch i would say. i am sure that you know the issues i am faced. You know where the installation fails -and what i do wrong here. Marto: i would be happy if you can h´elp me to understand - what i did wrong. greetings - perlbeginner	[reply]

"The hard thing is that i face that CPAN does not handle all dependencies, Isn't it supposed to handle all dependencies automatically?" Your cpan configuration should be set to follow prerequisites: `cpan> o conf prerequisites_policy follow cpan> o conf commit` [download] WWW::Mechanize::Firefox installs fine for me with `cpan WWW::Mechanize::Firefox`. As you have been told many times you need to set up the MozRepl Firefox plugin, and set it up, in order to run the tests and the module. Read WWW::Mechanize::Firefox::Troubleshooting and WWW::Mechanize::Firefox::Installation and actually work through the steps given. If you post another long, wordy yet seemingly content-less stream of though post on this or any other subject, I'm unlikely to reply. Update: fixed broken link.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
