I'm sure i need to subclass WWW::Mechanize but don't know how.
Subclassing could look something like this:
package MyMech;
use WWW::Mechanize;
our @ISA = "WWW::Mechanize";
sub _wrapped {
my $self = shift;
my $method = "SUPER::".shift;
my $result;
RETRY: for (1..3) {
eval { $result = $self->$method(@_); };
if ($@) {
warn gmtime(time).": $@";
$result = undef; # just in case
sleep 5;
} else {
last RETRY;
}
}
return $result;
}
sub get { shift->_wrapped('get', @_) }
sub put { shift->_wrapped('put', @_) }
# ...
and then in the main script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use MyMech;
my $mech = MyMech->new(autocheck => 1);
my $resp = $mech->get("http://localhost:9999/foo");
# ...
__END__

(note that in the example I use a generic wrapper doing the error checking and retries, so you don't
have to write the same boilerplate code for every subclassed method
that's meant to be handled similarly. You of course don't have to
do it that way... in which case the call to the respective superclass method would simply be $self->SUPER::get(@_), etc. instead)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
