in thread WWW::Scripter performance and warnings

Hi PerlSufi,

one element I need in the web page is printed there by a Javascript script. So I need WWW::Scripter (or something else) to execute this script.

I guess Scripter is slow because there is a lot of Javascript in this page.

When I inspect this particular element with Firebug I can see the name of the script. The question now is whether I can use that information in my Perl script so that WWW::Scripter executes only that one script. I'll first have to try to understand a bit more about Javascript and WWW::Scripter.

Thanks a lot for your answers

UPDATE I also tried solution A, WWW::Mechanize::Firefox, which does the work OK but is not faster, more than one minute to perform get().

    I guess Scripter is slow because there is a lot of Javascript in this page.

    Or infinite loop, memory leaks .... even the browsers (firefox/chrome...) do very little to protect from this
