Hi, I am quite new to Perl. I am trying to automate a search in a webpage that contains Javascript. After some research I decided to install the WWW::Mechanize::Firefox module. I am using a Windows 8 machine and installed ActivePerl on it. I downloaded the module and tried to install it. I have installed all the dependencies and even tested out the MozRepl module by writing a small script. Unfortunately the installation still fails. I think the installation is looking for Javascript connection, but Javascript is active in my Firefox, since that is the default and I have not changed it.

I get the following error constantly during the installation -> "Subroutine-MozRepl-Load Plugins redefined at line 104." and the final tests fail. I am not sure how to handle this or to correct the Javascript option in firefox. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks !
