In reading 'perldoc WWW::Mechanize' or 'man WWW::Mechanize' the
description for $mech->select has been confusing me for a while.
Today I looked at the source and recognized why.
First there is a '}' missing and second the quoting mechanism
C< ... > breakes if there is a '>' inside, as in: C<{n => [2,4]}>.
Following are two forms of the diff to address the first.
I don't know enough about perldoc or man to address the second.
mike@/deb40a:~/tmp> diff /usr/share/perl5/WWW/Mechanize.pm Mechanize.pm
1066c1066
< an C<n> key selects an item by number (e.g. C<{n => 3> or C<{n => [2,4]}>).

an C<n> key selects an item by number (e.g. C<{n => 3}> or C<{n => [2,4]}>).
My thanks for all the hard work that went into this library.
Knowing as little as I do about the innards of HTTP/HTML writing an ap
to gather job listings would be daunting.
