(Please bottom-post your replies to this group, so that extended threads
can remain comprehensible. Thank you.)
WWW::Mechanize is a subclass of LWP::Useragent, intended to add Web
browser-like functionality to the facilities in LWP. It isn't intended as
a replacement, and is of little use unless you need to emulate the use of
browser software programmatically. Note that it provides no sup****t either
for JavaScript or for the non-standard features in Internet Explorer such
as Active-X controls.
