Re: Mechanize docs

To make the module more friendly to beginners, the documentation might offer examples of potentially tricky situations (for beginners)...

examples of how to use checkboxes & radio buttons
examples of how to use use pull down single-select menus
examples of how to use multiple-select menus
examples of https and https-with-post
examples of using WWW::Mechanize::Shell to speed things up
examples of wise WWW::Mechanize use (check return codes on every page, check page returned is the page expected, etc)
tips for WWW::Mechanize debugging

As I said in OP, I am a big fan of W::M and W::M::S. They are great modules. However, better docs could allow more folks to benefit from their power and convenience.

Yeah, that would be great (https information). IN fact, if such a thing exists, could someone drop me an email at lewtone@myfastmail.com	[reply]

If you want a response, read here. The libwww-perl distribution comes with a file 'README.SSL'. Reading it tells you everything you need to know. -- Iain, aka Koschei.	[reply]
