This is a heads up for anyone wanting to use WWW::Mechanize on OS X.
I’ve been fighting with WWW::Mechanize all morning, trying to get it to
work with no success. There were no error messages telling me what was wrong.
I checked my firewall to see if anything was being blocked, but it wasn’t. I
finally ran across a post where someone was asked if they were able to access
the target web site using wget, so I decided to try that myself. Terminal told
me that wget wasn’t found. So… off to homebrew to install wget, and lo and
behold, Mech now works! I went back to see if Mech had wget as a dependency,
but nothing was mentioned on CPAN.
So just in case someone else was having the same trouble, I thought I’d
post this. Not sure why wget wasn’t installed with Xcode Developer Tools.
