Hi, I have Strawberry Perl 5.18 on WinXP. I do install WWW::Mechanize::Firefox with the cpan client. There are what seem like thousands of lines of debug info in the terminal window. I'm not sure how find the problem. The last few lines are:

    These failures are not for WWW::Mechanize::Firefox but for MozRepl.

    I would look at the actual test output instead of the summary and investigate further from there.

    Hi,
    I would 'cd' to the top level WWW::Mechanize::Firefox source directory and re-run those failing test scripts individually: 
    perl -Mblib t/10-plugin-repl-enter.t
perl -Mblib t/16-plugin-repl-home.t
perl -Mblib t/18-plugin-repl-util-help_url_for.t
perl -Mblib t/19-plugin-repl-util-doc_for.t
perl -Mblib t/20-plugin-json.t

    If there's still too much info for the console to neatly accommodate, redirect the output to files, and then peruse those files.

    You can install the module anyway, if you wish. You may well find it's quite adequate for your purposes, despite the failing tests. (The choice is yours.)
    Should you wish to install it, just run dmake install from that top level source directory.

    Cheers,
    Rob
