Re^2: mixing www::mech and lwp::UA

Hi.

I'm not exactly sure what that means, that I don't need to explicility use and create and object instance of both.

From that, I imagined you meant that I could just call LWP::UserAgent and perform WWW::Mech functions without calling WWW::Mech. So from that, I tried

  $ua->agent_alias("Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
+");
[download]

And it errors out saying there's no object method agent_alias.

Do I have it backwards? If I call WWW::Mech, can I then use any LWP::UA methods I want?

Yes, if you've got a WWW::Mechanize object as created by `WWW:::Mechanize->new()` you can use (almost) any LWP::UserAgent method on it.
