in reply to Mechanize docs
in thread On being a browser

To make the module more friendly to beginners, the documentation might offer examples of potentially tricky situations (for beginners)...
  • examples of how to use checkboxes & radio buttons
  • examples of how to use use pull down single-select menus
  • examples of how to use multiple-select menus
  • examples of https and https-with-post
  • examples of using WWW::Mechanize::Shell to speed things up
  • examples of wise WWW::Mechanize use (check return codes on every page, check page returned is the page expected, etc)
  • tips for WWW::Mechanize debugging
As I said in OP, I am a big fan of W::M and W::M::S. They are great modules. However, better docs could allow more folks to benefit from their power and convenience.

    Yeah, that would be great (https information). IN fact, if such a thing exists, could someone drop me an email at lewtone@myfastmail.com

      If you want a response, read here.

      The libwww-perl distribution comes with a file 'README.SSL'. Reading it tells you everything you need to know.
