So I installed the mozrepl plugin. telnet localhost 4242 seems to work fine. So I went to install the Perl module, but it won't install: 
Result: FAIL
Failed 81/86 test programs. 14/90 subtests failed.

From what i could tell most fail with:

Can't locate MozRepl/RemoteObject.pm in @INC

So I tried installing MozRepl::RemoteObject

Result: PASS
  CORION/MozRepl-RemoteObject-0.37.tar.gz
Tests succeeded but one dependency not OK (MozRepl)

so I tried installing just MozRepl 
Result: FAIL
Failed 5/14 test programs. 10/42 subtests failed.

There's so much gobliktygook from that one I can't make heads or tails as to what tests failed or why. I'd post it here but it is really really really long and I wouldn't expect anyone to look through it.

So basically I need another solution :(

    MozRepl is not maintained by me. It fails its tests, I think mostly on Windows for a long time.

    I recommend you force-install MozRepl and then continue with the rest.

      Ok I did the force install. Now I tried the following code: 
      use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

$ENV{MOZREPL} = "localhost:8888";  # using a non-standard port since 4
+242 is used by ncui 

use HTTP::Cookies::MozRepl;

my $repl = MozRepl::RemoteObject->install_bridge();

my $document = $repl->expr('document');

print $document->{title};

      [download]

      This prints out the correct title: Junos Pulse Secure Access Service - Home - Mozilla Firefox

      So I added: 

      my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::MozRepl->new(
                                            repl => $repl
);

my @cookies = $cookie_jar->extract_cookies();

print Dumper \@cookies;

      [download]

      Now it just hangs there, it doesn't even print the title.

      Any ideas what am I doing wrong?

      Thanks in advance.

        Maybe you just have a lot of cookies? HTTP::Cookies::MozRepl is slow.

        You could switch on the logging for your MozRepl client to see whether it is hanging or still doing something.

    I just installed WWW::Mechanize::Firefox v0.74 using cpan on Windows 7 under Cygwin, with no -force and no problem.
