No. The script works for me with the following incantations: `perl -Ilib -w eg\screenshot.pl www.cnn.com` [download] and `perl -Ilib -w eg\screenshot.pl http://www.cnn.com` [download] This works for me using the WWW::Mechanize::Firefox v0.12 from CPAN and the current development release on Github.

Updated. I installed the MozRepl firefox addon and now it partially works. When I try to capture 'www.cnn.com' it work, but when I try to grab a page like 'http://cmcc.deviantart.com/', I get the error: `MozRepl: Accepted connection. maximum input buffer length exceeded: 1048576 bytes at /usr/local/shar +e/perl/5.10.0/MozRepl/Client.pm line 186 (in cleanup) write error: filehandle isn't open at /usr/local/ +share/perl/5.10.0/MozRepl/Client.pm line 186` [download] Any suggestions?

Interesting - I didn't transfer such large data from MozRepl, but it seems that there is a size limit either in Net::Telnet or in MozRepl::Client, neither of which are much under my control. I'll test with your URL and see if I can reproduce the error and then what I can do about it. Update: Ah hah - the `maxbufsize => 1_048_576,` parameter in Net::Telnet seems to be a likely culprit. You can set that one through the `extra_client_args` arg in MozRepl: `extra_client_args => { maxbufsize => 10_485_760, }` [download] Currently, there is no convenient way to set that from WWW::Mechanize::Firefox, so I suggest you create the object bridge and then reach deep down into Net::Telnet to reconfigure it: `my $net_telnet = $mech->repl->repl->client; $net_telnet->max_buffer_length(10_485_760);` [download] As I'm thinking about moving away from MozRepl if the "custom interactors" feature proves stable enough, this approach is of limited duration.

No, I did not have that installed before, but once I installed it, the script worked. Thanks.	[reply]
