Hi all,
I am trying to store a Win32::IE::Mechanize object and then use it later, but I am not able to do so. I don't know what the problem is.. I tried dumping the Win32::IE::Mechanize Object using Data::Dumper, but I find that almost all the data is undef or null.. Please suggest me as to how to save the Win32::IE::Mechanize object and use it later..
use Win32::IE::Mechanize;
use Data::Dumper;
$ie = Win32::IE::Mechanize->new(visibile=>1);
$ie->get('http://google.com');
sleep(4);
print Dumper($ie);

This gives an output like 
$VAR1 = bless( {
                 'quiet' => undef,
                 'images' => undef,
                 'headers' => {},
                 '_opt' => {
                             'visible' => 1
                           },
                 'forms' => undef,
                 'onwarn' => undef,
                 'onerror' => undef,
                 'agent' => bless( {}, 'Win32::OLE' ),
                 'cur_form' => undef,
                 'links' => undef,
                 'basic_authentication' => {}
               }, 'Win32::IE::Mechanize' );
