Hello Perl Monks,

i want to write a little script to grab and play around with the results of the autocomplete of a website.
So I want to work with Selenium::Firefox, that base on module https://metacpan.org/pod/Selenium::Remote::Driver, but the description of the methods is without any examples.

I have this basic example, that is able to open google and insert a search string.
Then you can see that a result list is suggested and i want to get this list.
But i have no idea how this can be obtained?

Here is my code so far:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Selenium::Firefox; my $mech = Selenium::Firefox->new( startup_timeout => 20, firefox_binary => '/srv/bin/firefox.62.0/firefox', binary => '/usr/local/bin/geckodriver', marionette_enabled => 1 ); my $search = "perl"; my $url = "https://www.google.com/"; $mech->get($url); $mech->find_element_by_name("q"); sleep(3); my $lastname = $mech->get_active_element(); $lastname->send_keys($search); sleep (10); $mech->shutdown_binary; exit 0;
I could find no examples to use this Perl module - and there are more questions for it.
As for instance: https://metacpan.org/pod/Selenium::Remote::Driver#find_element
How can i turn on the warnings instead of killing the script?
Or how can i step through the objects of the wep page?

The description is not understandable for people who are not experts.
But my hope is that experts can give me a hint?
