Hi monks !

I am requesting for your widsom guys. I am a beginner in Perl . This is the first time i use Perl language. I have to do some automation regarding some tests cases and i decided to use Perl because i had good feedback of using Perl in test automation. I am working with Selenium and i decided to use Selenium::Remote::Driver I think i did all the configurations as requested but i am facing an issue wen i want to run a simple script using this module.

Here is the code 
 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
#use Selenium::Firefox;
use Selenium::Remote::Driver;
 
my $driver = Selenium::Remote::Driver->new;
$driver->get('http://www.google.com');
use Selenium::Remote::Driver;

and below the output when i launch my script from CMD: 
C:\Users\user1\Documents\TESTPERL>perl TEST1.pl
Could not create new session: Unable to create new service: GeckoDrive
+rService
Build info: version: '3.14.0', revision: 'aacccce0', time: '2018-08-02
+T20:13:22.693Z'
System info: host: 'LBNL13608', ip: '10.132.5.117', os.name: 'Windows 
+7', os.arch: 'amd64', os.version: '6.1', java.version: '1.8.0_191'
Driver info: driver.version: unknown at TEST1.pl line 8.

I don't understand why i have to use a "geckoDriver"?!

Thanks in advance,

Br
