WWW::Mechanize::Plugin::Display - Display WWW::Mechanize results in a local web browser.

SYNOPSIS

Top

  use WWW::Mechanize;
  use WWW::Mechanize::Plugin::Display;

  my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new;
  $mech->get('http://www.google.com');
  $mech->display;

DESCRIPTION

Top

When you get an unexpected result while using WWW::Mechanize, it can be useful to inspect the current page that Mechanize has fetched in a local browser.

This plugin adds a method for that, depending on HTML::Display for most of the work.

It should work with WWW::Mechanize, or any sub-class of it.

display()

    $mech->display();

Display the current HTML content in a local browser.

A quick example of setting a preferred browser:

 PERL_HTML_DISPLAY_COMMAND=w3m -T text/html %s

See HTML::Display for configuration details.
