Greetings Monks,
 
I stumbled upon Selenium, a test tool for web applications. Aslo I found a CPAN module, WWW::Selenium, that acts as a perl driver for Selenium.

I have installed WWW::Selenium and while trying to execute the following sample code: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;

use WWW::Selenium;
use WWW::Selenium::Launcher::MacDefault;

my $selenium = WWW::Selenium->new;

$selenium->open( 'http://localhost/selenium/SeleneseRunner.html' );
$selenium->verify_title( 'Some title' );
$selenium->click_and_wait( 'link_id' );
$selenium->stop;

I get the following error:

Error fetching result: Timed out! at /Library/Perl/5.8.6/WWW/Selenium/CommandBridge.pm line 45 at /Library/Perl/5.8.6/WWW/Selenium.pm line 106

I have read a couple of threads on the mailing list, but could not figure out how to solve this. Pls help.
