web automation from perl

Question

I am looking for a web page automation tool in Perl. I want to be able to drive different browsers like IE, firefox etc from my test script. I have to automate a product web page with lots of input fields and loads of javascript. I do not want a custom browser like mechanize does. I used to work with Ruby before and there I used Watir. Is there something similar in Perl?

Answer 1

Selenium-RC with WWW::Selenium could be what you're looking for. Tim Brockman has written about setting it up here: Selenium and Perl = tears of joy

Answer 2

• WWW::Mechanize::Firefox
• Win32::IE::Mechanize (Module no longer exists.)
