To start, you could explain what you mean by "junks", or even show an example of what you expect, and what you get. Please read and understand How do I post a question effectively?.	[reply]

Can you pls tell me the reason...? Only Mechanize is returning junks and no other browsers.. I didn't understand it. Maybe Did you read WWW::Mechanize documentation for content method for your version of installed WWW::Mechanize to read and understand what it does? The same for save_content method? Did you examine the response headers ? compare them to other browsers? I believe that is what you would have to do to arrive at a satisfactory answer Hi	[reply]

Obviously you need WWW::Mechanize::GZip	[reply]

Obviously you need WWW::Mechanize::GZip Did you try it? Did it work for you? https://metacpan.org/changes/distribution/WWW-Mechanize has had the same gzip stuff since about the same time that module got released ... which is why you don't need it	[reply]

I tried using Compress::Zlib qw( uncompress ) also.... still no improvments... :( Can anyone pls tell me the root cause? Is that due to gzip encoding? Is that due to gzip encoding?(www::mech wont unzip gzip?) Pls help if you can... Thank You	[reply]

Can anyone pls tell me the root cause? No, but you can maybe discover the root cause through testing, by successfully performing the diagnostic steps outlined in Re^5: WWW:Mechanize Error[getting Junks] fetching a Page Is that due to gzip encoding? Possibly (www::mech wont unzip gzip?) Will anything else unzip it?	[reply]
