Saving a page using www::selenium

venkatesan_G02 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks,

I am accessing a web page using WWW::Selenium module and i succedded in accessing the page successfully by creating the code. But i need to save final html page in my local PC for further analysis. I went through the documentation for www::selenium but could not find anything to save the content of the page returned. Is it possible to save the content of the returned page using www::selenium because it is the only module that suites my criteria.

Hearty Thanks for all those who takes time to help me out.

As mentioned in the CB (repeated here in case you missed or forget any of it) I've not used WWW::Selenium yet (sadly I've not had a chance to play around with it yet). The method `get_html_source` will return the html source code of the current page. I suppose you could save that to a file but I'm pretty sure that Selenium may be able to offer a better solution, such as using the browsers 'save as' functionality which tends to save things like graphics, css and JavaScript files too. See also download a file from the Selenium COER FAQ.Selenium IDE also looks interesting, perhaps in conjunction with WWW::Selenium::Utils, though I don't have time to look at this any further at the moment.
