in reply to mozrepl-installation fails on opensuse-linux

Note that version 0.49 is pretty old. Also note that mozrepl itself is a Mozilla/Firefox component and not supported here. You may want to consult the package manager of your operating system to install packages and their prerequisites. Also, you might want to take a look at http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/CORION/MozRepl-RemoteObject-0.29/Changes for further hints on how to install a recent version of the mozrepl plugin.

    good day dear corion

    i will do further investigations - this seems to be pretty difficult to install,. But i do my best -

    greetings pb1

    Well i forgot to mention that i only need to have the images as small thumbnails - so we do not have to have a very very large files...

    i only need to grab a thumbnail screenshot of them. How do I do that?

    my $png = $mech->content_as_png();

    The line returns the given tab or the current page rendered as PNG image.
    as the documentation states:

    All parameters are optional. $tab defaults to the current tab. If the coordinates are given, that rectangle will be cut out. The coordinates should be a hash with the four usual entries, left,top,width,height. This is specific to WWW::Mechanize::Firefox.

    Well does that have any impact on our code - can we make the code somewhat more specifical to our needs. Note:the files i store are a bit smaller - if we limit them after fetching from the web !? aren īt they!?

    BTW; Currently, the data transfer between Firefox and Perl is done Base64-encoded, isn t it. Well It would be beneficial to find what 's necessary to make JSON handle all the binary data more gracefully what do you think. Love to hear from you

    Now i try to install mozrepl - if you or anybody has got some tipps on that. should i run

    a. zypper in .or

    b. get it as a firefox plugin greetings
