Hello Monks, I'm running strawberry perl and I can't control Chrome from perl, it connects to Chrome and opens a new "about:blank" tab but then gives an error

can't connect without knowing the port?! 0 at C:/Strawberry/perl/site/lib/Chrome/DevToolsProtocol.pm line 317.

I launched Chrome with --remote-debugging-port-9222, and set the options in perl code

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Chrome->new(port => 9222);

but on $TRACE I get below. 

2021/06/06 10:12:39 Spawning $VAR1 = [

so port is not set, have tried :

#!perl
use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize::Chrome;
$ENV{WWW_MECHANIZE_CHROME_CONNECTION_STYLE}='pipe';
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Chrome::->new();

[download]


but I got below error

Only websocket communication is supported on MSWin32, not 'pipe'

any help please ?
