Searching for WWW::Mechanize retry returns WWW::Mechanize::Plugin::Retry. How did this module not work for you in the expected way?	[reply]

You can catch die's with eval {}, example `#!/usr/bin/perl -- use strict; use warnings; use WWW::Mechanize; my $ua = WWW::Mechanize->new( autocheck => 1 ); for ( 1, 6 ){ eval { $ua->get('die://die'); 1 } or print "$@\n"; } __END__ Error GETing die://die: Protocol scheme 'die' is not supported at - li +ne 9 Error GETing die://die: Protocol scheme 'die' is not supported at - li +ne 9` [download] Or turn autocheck off, and do your own checking.

Based on the very limited info you've provided - its a bit hard to provide much help. Maybe consider: 1. Paste your code thats 'exiting' 2. Provide the specific output thats being generated, or specificy at what point your code is exiting. At a guess, it might be due to an exception thats being thrown in one of the modules that www::mechanize uses. If so, you can neutralise it via a block eval.	[reply]
