Ignore $mech->click() errors

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

My script dies after a recurrent $mech->click() error(it returns Error POSTing example.com: Internal Server Error at test.pl line 46).

As I said, this is a recurrent error (it happens once in a while), and I don't have the need to fix it. Is there anyway to tell Perl to simply ignore it instead of dying?

Ps: I'm using WWW::Mechanize.

Is there anyway to tell Perl to simply ignore it instead of dying? Not exactly sure about the context of your question... but maybe you want to unset autocheck (i.e. pass `autocheck => 0` to the mech constructor), or wrap the call in question into an `eval {...}`, which would be Perl's generic way to catch exceptions.

Have you checked what the Internal Server errors are? This was asked by Corion before on your node.	[reply]
