Trying to view HTML created from JavaScript web page

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

I am trying to use WWW::Scripter to get a web page with Javascript in it and using the following code look at the HTML.

      my $url = 'http://www.whatever.whatever';
      my $mechObject = new WWW::Scripter;
      $mechObject->use_plugin('JavaScript');
      $mechObject->get( $url );
      print $mechObject -> content;
[download]

This seems to follow the example at CPAN but prints out the javascript. As a perl appprentice coder of not much knowledge can someone point me in the right direction please.

I am unable to reproduce the problem. You left out important information.	[reply]

How about some sample data, for example the URL of the page you're trying to scrape. See How do I post a question effectively?.	[reply]

content is not a DOM method, you need to use the DOM	[reply]

Yes, that seems good advice but with my limited knowledge of perl I could do with a pointer to some site to explain this, or an example bit of code. The whole processed page is what I am after with all javascript converted to html.	[reply]

Well WWW::Scripter's content already uses the DOM, so if that was going to work, it would have worked already	[reply]
