in reply to Perl Mechanize runs into error: couldn t connect to localhost - port 4242 [so i never have this strange error]

Have you worked through the steps in WWW::Mechanize::Firefox::Troubleshooting? Especially the "Installation" section seems particularly applicable to your situation.

    hello dear Corion - many many thanks ! i have had a quick view into the docs. But i was a bit confused. AND for sure: i had servious troubles in installling Mechanize Firefox - it was terrribly hard to install it. BUT what can i do now... !?
      hello dear corion

      i tested this one here:


      pan[1]> install MozRepl.pm Going to read '/root/.cpan/Metadata' Databa +se was generated on Fri, 09 Dec 2011 00:28:36 GMT MozRepl is up to da +te (0.06).



      is this correct or should i installl more - eg. something that looks like a true mozillaplugin!!??

      love to hear from you
