Comment: Many users are saying you can't do that with WWW::Mechanize, but I don't know why not. I think you can.

Bookmarks are stored in an HTML file

I just wrote and tested the following example in Windows. The paths would be different for your environment. If you're trying to load JavaScript-generated pages, then the results may be undesirable.

#!C:\Perl\bin\

    use strict;

    # add library path to wherever WWW::Mechanize might be
    use lib qw(C:\\userFoo\\myperl\\lib\\site_perl\\5.8.8); 
    use WWW::Mechanize;

    my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();         # Create an instance of 
+mech

    my $url = 'file:///C:\Documents and Settings\userFoo\Application
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\profileBar.default\bookmarks.html';

    $mech->get( $url );                       # Get the bookmark file
    print %{$mech->follow_link( n => 11 )};   # Get and print a link's
+ contents
