Re: Can't locate object error

A oneliner just popped into my head:

perl -le "sub UNIVERSAL::versions{ no strict 'refs'; printf qq(%s: %s\
+n), $_, ${$_.qq(::VERSION)}for @{ref $_[0].'::ISA'}}; $_->versions fo
+r @ARGV" WWW::Mechanize WWW::Mechanize::Frames
[download]

Most likely the version of one of the modules is too old.

I changed $m->form to $m->form_name and it now works. So the module was installed successfully after all, but I guess things have changed and 'form' isn't accepted anymore. It could be that my personal server is running an old instance of WWW::MEchanize and thus 'form' works. Whereas on my work server which has the newest installation of wWW::Mechanize, 'form' has now been replaced by 'form_name'. Thanks	[reply]

But I just installed the most recent version of WWW::Mechanize and WWW::Mechanize::Frames .... so how could that be? How could my version be old if I just installed it from cpan using the install command?	[reply]

So maybe your version at home is older and the 'form' method has gone away. The documented interface of WWW::Mechanize does not know about it. Try `$m->form_name('LoginForm');` [download] instead.	[reply] [d/l]
