I'm a newb with Moose. I have the following perl script which creates an FFMech object:

#!/usr/bin/perl
BEGIN { unshift @INC, "/home/steve/perl/perl-lib" }
use strict;
use warnings;
use FFMech;

my $ffm = FFMech->new;

The code for the FFMech object is here:

package FFMech;
use strict;
use warnings;
$ENV{'DISPLAY'} = ':0.0';
use X11::GUITest qw/SendKeys FindWindowLike ClickWindow SetEventSendDe
+lay/;
use Moose;
extends 'WWW::Mechanize::Firefox';

has 'window_id' => (
  is => 'ro',
  isa => 'Int',
);

As you can see, the class doesn't do anything. That's because I can't get over the initial hump of initializing the object without getting the following error:

Failed to connect to , problem connecting to "localhost", port 4242: C
+onnection refused at /usr/local/share/perl/5.20.2/MozRepl/Client.pm l
+ine 144

The error is occurring because Firefox is not running. You can launch Firefox with something like:

my $mech->new(launch => 'firefox');

However, I'm at a loss as to how to pass these arguments to the constructor for the WWW::Mechanize::Firefox object.

$PM = "Perl Monk's";
$MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon";
$nysus = $PM . $MCF;
