Re^5: Problem using MozRepl and MozRepl::RemoteObject

There is no convenient way to set the timeout of MozRepl::Client through WWW::Mechanize::Firefox. The least inconvenient way is to set $ENV{MOZREPL_TIMEOUT} before constructing your instance of WWW::Mechanize::Firefox, I guess. The more inconvenient way involves reaching down to

$mech->repl->repl->client->{telnet}->timeout(60)
[download]

This is not pretty, but should allow you to set the timeout.

There is no convenient way with WWW::Mechanize::Firefox to block scripts from loading. Have you looked at an ad blocker?

Have you looked at an ad blocker? I second this notion; some pages have so much dynamic-advertisement-junk-infinite-loop (400MB worth) they're unbrowsable without an ad-blocker	[reply]

Thanks Corion I see roughly what you mean. About your first solution, how do I give the value : $ENV{MOZREPL_TIMEOUT} = 60; # ? About the second, is it normal to repeat 'repl->' in the command ? What is the default setting for timeout ? For the latter, what do you mean by 'an ad blocker'? cf006	[reply]

`$ENV{MOZREPL_TIMEOUT}= 60;` [download] is plain Perl code. Maybe it is time to acquaint yourself with special Perl variables as described in perlvar? I also did try my suggestion before posting it, so the repetition of `->repl->repl->` is correct. If you doubt my advice, maybe you want to verify it yourself? The timeout default setting is set by MozRepl. I suggest you consult its documentation or source code to find more details. If you are unclear about a concept or term, like "ad blocker", maybe using a web resource like Wikipedia or Google helps - Ad filtering is the term Wikipedia suggests to me, and ad blocker will likely also return relevant search terms.
