Beloved Monks,

I've just run the this, code, i.e.: 

use WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS;
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS->new();
$mech->get('http://google.com');

$mech->eval_in_page('alert("Hello PhantomJS")');
my $png = $mech->content_as_png();

print $png;  # I added this line so the PNG image is sent to STDOUT

[download]
If I run that from the Linux command line like this: 
  perl screenshot.pl >google.png
the resulting google.png file contains a screen shot of the google page, but there's no "Hello PhantomJS" alert on the page.  Any ideas why not, and what I should do to make the output include the alert?

I'm running WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS 0.24 and phantomjs 2.1.1.

Thanks.
