Subject: Test t/local/back.t fails on follow_link()
19c19 < $mech->follow_link( n=>2 ); --- Show quoted text
> $mech->follow_link( n=>3 );
The Google home page has changed it's links and this test seems to fail. I updated the link number from 2 to 3 and the test passed. The number of links on this page change depending on if you are logged into Google with gmail or not as there are "Personalized Home" and "Sign in"/"Sign Out" links at the top. Mac OS X 10.3.9 This is perl, v5.8.1-RC3 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level

Andy, Why not take make a page based on the google one, and the throw it up at petdance.com/mech-live-test.html ? Or maybe better, refer right back the distro on cpan.org: http://search.cpan.org/~petdance/WWW-Mechanize-1.16/t/live_test.html If cpan.org is down, less people will be installing Mech to report bugs about cpan.org being down. Then for Christmas you'll get less bug reports about the live tests failing. Patching tests to keep up Google redesigns seems like no fun. Mark
