Gentlemen,
i have various issues with installing and running WWW::Mechanize::FireFox on my machine.
-well: Mechanize FireFox lets you use FireFox with the Same behaviour as Perl Mechanize itself. You can do many
good things -and this lets so save time. A great perl-option to overcome obstacles i enveryday live.
i have had a closer look at the many things
Q:
do i have two instances of Perl on the machine?!
did i manage to install Mecha::FireFox correctly
is FireFox running with JavaScript enabled.
One of the key items on my CPAN configuration is 'prerequisite_policy
follow';
Well to be frank that is the most sensible choice.
If a prerequisite module is missing, it will be installed automatically. Well i have looked at many things - my trace shows this happening; some of the modules needed are probably missing,
so it tries to install them before installing WWW::Mechanize::Firefox.
I do note that my config contains several strange things ...
use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox;
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Firefox->new(
tab => 'current',
);
$mech->get('http://google.com',
':content_file' => 'google_com.html' );

what do you say. I guess that this strange behaviour i get everytime i try to start Mechnize-FireFox is quite a side-effect of my installation and configuration
