Mozilla::Mechanize WWW::Mechanize is great, but it has a major shortcoming: it completely ignores JavaScript. There's a port of WWW::Mechanize, Win32::IE::Mechanize by Abe Timmerman, that uses OLE automation to control an Internet Explorer browser, and therefore does deal with JavaScript. However, it has its own shortcoming: it only works with Internet Explorer. This module, Mozilla::Mechanize, is a port of Win32::IE::Mechanize that uses an embedded Gecko widget. I say "an embedded Gecko widget" and not "Mozilla", because it doesn't use a technology like OLE automation or DCOM to remotely control a separate, "real" browser. Instead, using Mozilla::DOM, you control an embedded Gecko widget (currently based on Gtk2::MozEmbed). Since Gecko is the HTML rendering engine of Mozilla/Firefox, it's the same as Mozilla, at least as far as the DOM is concerned. I haven't found the Holy Grail of web automation yet, though. That would involve rendering an HTML page exactly as a real browser does, on any platform, but without having to open a browser window. The quest continues... :) DEPENDENCIES Mozilla::DOM Gtk2::MozEmbed URI Mime::Base64 (only if Basic auth (currently unimplemented) is used) INSTALLATION To install this module, execute the following commands: perl Build.PL ./Build ./Build test ./Build install or you can instead do the traditional perl Makefile.PL make make test make install BUGS slanning@cpan.org COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Copyright 2005,2009 Scott Lanning.
