InfiniteLoop has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Greetings Monks,
 
I stumbled upon Selenium, a test tool for web applications. Aslo I found a CPAN module, WWW::Selenium, that acts as a perl driver for Selenium.

I have installed WWW::Selenium and while trying to execute the following sample code: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;

use WWW::Selenium;
use WWW::Selenium::Launcher::MacDefault;

my $selenium = WWW::Selenium->new;

$selenium->open( 'http://localhost/selenium/SeleneseRunner.html' );
$selenium->verify_title( 'Some title' );
$selenium->click_and_wait( 'link_id' );
$selenium->stop;

[download]
I get the following error:

Error fetching result: Timed out! at /Library/Perl/5.8.6/WWW/Selenium/CommandBridge.pm line 45 at /Library/Perl/5.8.6/WWW/Selenium.pm line 106

I have read a couple of threads on the mailing list, but could not figure out how to solve this. Pls help.

    Just a quick, obvious, blind checklist:
    • is a HTTP server running on localhost, listening to port TCP/80?
    • is the page /selenium/SeleneseRunner.html available through this HTTP server? Can you see from the browser, for example? Is the page correct?
    • have you identified which is the offending command among new, open, verify_title, click_and_wait and stop?
    • What's in line 106 of the module?

    Flavio
    perl -ple'$_=reverse' <<<ti.xittelop@oivalf

    Don't fool yourself.

      Yes, Im able to access the url via my browser. Also the command that WWW::Selenium executes seems to be 'open'.
      The line 106 is this code: 
      my $result = $self->{bridge}->get_result;
