Dear Monks

I have problem with WWW::Mechanize::Chrome

Running included examples ends up with infinite waiting or ...

e.g using included example dump-links.pl
https://metacpan.org/pod/WWW::Mechanize::Chrome::Examples#Example:-dump-links.pl
  generates error:
Could not connect to '127.0.0.1:9222': Connection refused

After starting headless chrome in background:
google-chrome --headless --hide-scrollbars --remote-debugging-port=9222 --disable-gpu  &

  response from dump_links.pl:
Could not connect to '127.0.0.1:9223': Connection refused

Changed the code -  port to connect added:
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Chrome->new(
        port => 9222,
);

[download]
 .. waits initialisation for ever ...
 
I have experimented with  Chrome options, WWW::Mechanize::Chrome->new %options etc etc - no results.

Command line variant works well:
google-chrome --headless --disable-gpu --print-to-pdf https://www.chromestatus.com/

(just for background - I was successful with similar demos from WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS)
All searches form PerlMonks, StackOverflow -- also no results.

Installed environment:
Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
perl v5.22.1
Google Chrome 62.0.3202.89
also tried  Chromium 64.0.3240.0 ( this was bundled with Puppeteer - all demos working fine)

Any comments, suggestions ....?


Thank you in advance
Ivar
