Doesn't look active. Do inactive projects get marked as such? It's hard to use modules that are no longer supported due to inevitability of encountering problems or just having general questions on usage, etc. Maybe there's another place where these modules get discussed? Show quoted text

Yep, I haven't worked on this project for years. There are better alternatives (WWW::Mechanize, WWW::Selenium) so I don't quite see a point to continue maintaining this project. OTOH if somebody were willing to take over maintenance I would welcome this. -- Ilya Martynov, ilya@iponweb.net CTO IPonWEB (UK) Ltd

No problem, I ran across while looking for a solution. Does it make sense to say what you've said here on the main page for the project? Might save others time and effort. --- Ilya Martynov via RT <bug-HTTP-WebTest@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text
