You've posted several threads on the subject of WWW::Mechanize::Firefox, so some of this advice may have already been given. There are examples in WWW::Mechanize::Firefox::Examples, if you run this and don't have the prerequisites installed this will be clearly reported on the command line.

"i tried to install Perl on opensuse 12.1."

Tried to install it? Did you have problems? If so, you need to explain what what wrong otherwise you restrict the advice people can give to truisms.

"WWW::Mechanize::Firefox; well i am pretty unsure if this succeded"

See above, read and understand How do I post a question effectively?.

Update:

"Note: i have terrible issues on my new installe opensuse 12.1 - i have troubles with Make"

Didn't we address this in do i need to have a better make - all perl-things fail? If it's something else you need to be clear when describing your problems.

WWW::Mechanize::Firefox comes with a lot of Examples. Why don't you try them?

It also comes with a test suite that gets run upon installation. Why don't you run that test suite? If you somehow installed WWW::Mechanize::Firefox without running the test suite, I can only recommend reinstalling, or at least retesting:

>cpan
cpan> look WWW::Mechanize::Firefox
> perl Makefile.PL
> make test
# watch the test suite run
[download]

If you suspect that make is broken, there is little we can do to help you, especially as you don't tell us the symptoms. I recommend you hire a competent system administrator to handle system maintenance and module installation for you.

good day dear corion

see the update - see what happened with the install the www::mechanize::firefox

how do you like this!? Corion i love to hear from you ... if this is set up right then i can proceed and go to the next step and do some tests -

so i love to hear from you
many many greetings from Good Old Europe .-

I seriously recommend you learn about your operating system and how to do things with it.

The output seems to suggest to me that you ran the first command I showed you, look WWW::Mechanize::Firefox. What happened when you ran the other commands that were to be run after that one?

Please work on your reporting capability. If you want to get immediate answers, please put some effort in your question and provide all relevant information. If you don't understand instructions given to you, either try them all out and live with the consequences or ask before you try them out. Doing system administration through this forum is quite tedious, so I recommend that you find somebody who is willing to set up your system for you, or who is willing to teach you how to operate the system yourself. I am not that person.

I see that you are using the system perl to install modules from CPAN. This is highly recommended against. Use your OS package manager or talk to your system administrator how to install Perl modules for the system perl. The recommended way for a Perl developer is to install Perl modules locally (see local::lib) or to compile their own private version of Perl (see App::perlbrew).

#!/usr/bin/perl -l

use strict;
use warnings;
use Module::Load::Conditional
    qw[ can_load check_install requires ];

$Module::Load::Conditional::CHECK_INC_HASH = 1;

my $rv = check_install( 
    module => 'WWW::Mechanize::Firefox', version => 0.56)
        or warn "WWW::Mechanize::Firefox is not installed";

print "WWW::Mechanize::Firefox is up to date",
    if $rv->{'uptodate'};
print "WWW::Mechanize::Firefox version is: ", 
    $rv->{'version'};
print "WWW::Mechanize::Firefox is installed as file: ",
    $rv->{'file'};
print "WWW::Mechanize::Firefox also requires that 
    these modules be installed: ";
print join "\n", requires('WWW::Mechanize::Firefox');

hello khen many many thanks for the answer... great to hear from you!!!

i just added the adviced module - btw - NOTE -see that MAKE is running propperly - can we say that - guess so!!

what do you say:: i just added the adviced module - btw - NOTE -see that MAKE is running propperly - can we say that - guess so!!

greetings

Could you please edit out those trailing spaces from your terminal output so as not to mess with the site layout so heavily? I guess you use Konsole and openSuse haven't patched it to behave properly yet in your release.

Could you please edit out those trailing spaces from your terminal output so as not to mess with the site layout so heavily?

The OP shouldn't have to edit his copy/paste to remove whitespace since the OP is using code tags, and it is job of code tags to perform wrapping of too long lines. If you turned this feature off, you can customize your css to wrap the lines for you.

Those lines aren’t code, they shouldn’t actually be in code tags, but in samp (I vaguely remember a monk starting a thread here about that, not sure if it’s allowed now), or as a fallback, in pre. Those trailing spaces are insignificant ones, put into the clipboard by a buggy terminal, so yes, it should be the OP who should fix his paste, because it’s broken.

I have turned off the wrapping indeed, because those +-prefixed lines looked horrible and made things harder to read. 99.99% of code tags fit in my screen, so I don’t need CSS to mangle people’s code for me — in fact, that would make things just as bad as the PerlMonks default code mangling.
