MozRepl installation errors on opensuse 12.2 - with firefox version 16.01 listening port 4242	Can't Post

gentlemen,

I want to install mozrepl on OpenSUSE version 12.2. It gets pretty tricky - note Mozrepl is a additional part that is needed by the WWW::Mechanize::Firefox::
I had a bunch of troubles with mozRepl - and I tried to follow the first 3-4 steps from CPAN. I tried to install it with zypper in or with the repo: https://github.com/bard/mozrepl.github

See many good links and ressources regarding Mechanize - Firefox - Troubleshooting https://duckduckgo.com/html/?q=mozrepl https://github.com/bard/mozrepl.github

see the issues that were reported:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mozrepl/

note: does the firefox version 16.01 on opensuse 12.2 cause any issues

note: mozrepl is listening on port 4242

note: see the testscript:

Code

 
  use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox; 
  my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Firefox->new( 
      tab => 'current', 
  ); 
  $mech->get('http://google.com', 
      ':content_file' => 'google_com.html' );

and the issues

Code

martin@linux-wyee:~/perl> perl moz_test3.pl

did you do what I told you todo last time? it seems to be the same error message from perl that it cant find the module.

1. look threw the file system for the module firefox.pm that is in the folders /WWW/Mechanize/

2. once you've found the whole directory use the lib module to add the directory to the @INC so perl can find the module.

3. do you have more then one version of perl installed?

hello again dear friend.

well you re right - probably i have two instances of perl.

dear wickedxter - i alllmost go crazy...

i have various issues with installing and running WWW::Mechanize::FireFox on my machine.

-well: Mechanize FireFox lets you use FireFox with the Same behaviour as Perl Mechanize itself. You can do many
good things -and this lets so save time. A great perl-option to overcome obstacles i enveryday live.

i have had a closer look at the many things

Q:
do i have two instances of Perl on the machine?!
did i manage to install Mecha::FireFox correctly
is FireFox running with JavaScript enabled.

One of the key items on my CPAN configuration is 'prerequisite_policy [follow]';
Well to be frank that is the most sensible choice.
If a prerequisite module is missing, it will be installed automatically. Well i have looked at many things - my trace shows this happening; some of the modules needed are probably missing,

so it tries to install them before installing WWW::Mechanize::Firefox.
I do note that my config contains several strange things ...

use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox;
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Firefox->new(
tab => 'current',
);
$mech->get('http://google.com',
':content_file' => 'google_com.html' );

what do you say. I guess that this strange behaviour i get everytime i try to start Mechnize-FireFox is quite a side-effect of my installation and configuration

i dont have opensuse installed so have no idea where perl is installed.... is the perl version 5.16 come with the OS or did you install that? if so cpan might be installing the module under the OS's perl version which ever that might be...

can you do a file search for the module's name that's the fastest way to locate the directory.

i found this info on the site: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Perl

I am a bit surprised. Isn't Perl pre-installed on any openSUSE environment?

hello dear Laurent_R hello dear wickedxter

many many thanks for the reply - happy to hear from you. Well i believe that the opensuse is a superb open linux system.

note: i posted the issues there too - since the Suse-System and is behaviour is very special

Note: the Suse-experts very very often tell me to avoid all installations via terminal: the try to stop me installing via CPAN and force me to install
via repository.

Well to go ahead i thought that i have to try out some things. I tried to install Perl on a new system - on another notebook - with fresh opensuse 12.2.
Note: this time i went to YAST and added the repository a new link - this one :

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/perl/openSUSE_12.2/

What i did was the following;

now it did a fresh install on a new machne - with this repo
Index of /repositories/devel:/languages:/perl/openSUSE_12.2

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/perl/openSUSE_12.2/

question: now i need WWW::Mechanize::FireFox

how should i include this - how to install !?

plz advice
