I am new to using Selenium, but found that I don't need to "install" Selenium to use this module. I am able to retrieve the page, no error retrieving an element, but when I try to retrieve a child element (an option to click), I receive an error, "An element could not be located on the page using the given search parameters: ./option[@value='50'],xpath at …

I could really use some help. Most of the code is below and anyone can go to the url specified to easily see what I am doing.

A snippet from the web page…

<div class="pageView">
        <select onchange="changePriceTablePageSize(parseInt($(this).va
+l()), 67287, 'yugioh')">
            <option value="10" selected="selected">10 per page</option
+>
            <option value="50">50 per page</option><option value="25">
+25 per page</option>
            
        </select>

use Selenium::Firefox;

my $url = "http://shop.tcgplayer.com/yugioh/abyss-rising/abyss-dweller
+";
my $firefox = Selenium::Firefox->new ();
$firefox->set_implicit_wait_timeout(10);    # 10 ms.
$firefox->get($url);
sleep 5;        # Couldn't find the "wait… methods"
my $content = $firefox->get_page_source();   
# can print $content; so far, so good

my $parent = $firefox->find_element_by_class('pageView');
my $child = $firefox->find_child_element
                                 ($parent, "./option[\@value='50']");
