Re^5: Screencapture with Perl on Linux

  The module Module::Pluggable::Fast isn't available on CPAN.
[download]

Module::Pluggable::Fast is, for some reason, not installable through the CPAN shell. You will need to download it separately and extract and install it manually by doing the following dance:

Download Module::Pluggable::Fast
Extract the tarball somewhere convenient
Open a shell in that directory
Type cpan . (including that dot)
Watch the module get installed
Retry installing WWW::Mechanize::Firefox

That helped, but things are not working yet. Doing the manual install for Module::Pluggable::Fast and then retrying the install of WWW::Mechanize::Firefox worked. However the script is giving me an error when I do this: `prompt$ ./screenshot.pl "www.cnn.com" write error: filehandle isn't open at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/Moz +Repl/Client.pm line 186` [download] Any suggestions?

No. The script works for me with the following incantations: `perl -Ilib -w eg\screenshot.pl www.cnn.com` [download] and `perl -Ilib -w eg\screenshot.pl http://www.cnn.com` [download] This works for me using the WWW::Mechanize::Firefox v0.12 from CPAN and the current development release on Github.

Updated. I installed the MozRepl firefox addon and now it partially works. When I try to capture 'www.cnn.com' it work, but when I try to grab a page like 'http://cmcc.deviantart.com/', I get the error: `MozRepl: Accepted connection. maximum input buffer length exceeded: 1048576 bytes at /usr/local/shar +e/perl/5.10.0/MozRepl/Client.pm line 186 (in cleanup) write error: filehandle isn't open at /usr/local/ +share/perl/5.10.0/MozRepl/Client.pm line 186` [download] Any suggestions?

No, I did not have that installed before, but once I installed it, the script worked. Thanks.	[reply]
