Subject: mirror method doesn't take a WWW::Mechanize::Link
When doing something like: $agent->mirror($agent->find_link(text => 'Download'), 'myfile'); LWP says it doesn't accept WWW::Mechanize::Link should this be fixed? Why do we need to use a WWW::Mechanize::Link object? Aren't there other more standard Link objects out there? (like URI)

That's up to the LWP people. You're in the wrong bug queue for that. Show quoted text

It's worked well so far. Show quoted text
> Aren't there other more standard Link objects out there? (like URI)
If you compare the docs for the two objects, they work in different niches. Besides, I would guess this all you need to fix your situation: $agent->mirror($agent->find_link(text => 'Download')->url(), 'myfile'); That doesn't seem so bad. I'm resolving this ticket because it's either a wishlist for LWP, or a question about how Mech works. There is a Mech developer's e-mail list if you are want to further discuss the future of how Mech works. LWP has a list as well. Mark

No, because LWP doesn't know about Mech at all, now will it ever. Show quoted text

Look at the methods in WWW::Mechanize::Link and answer for yourself. xoa -- Andy Lester => andy@petdance.com => www.petdance.com => AIM:petdance
