hello i m new to perl and this is my question. I tried a script to automate google search,it worked fine for few trials but after this it still worked but my program did not terminate like it used to.To check the problem i tried the print statement,the wierd thing is that 1 is not printed while i get my 'hello' keyword search in google. Here is the code

print 1; use warnings; use strict; use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox; my $go=WWW::Mechanize::Firefox->new(current=>'1'); $go->get('http://www.google.com'); $go->field('q','hello',1); $go->click('btnG'); if($go->on_event()) {exit 0; }

i m running mozrepl and it checked it with telnet utility.PLZ TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG!!!!
