This is awesome.

The selectors are where it's at, and the sane method names used provide for easy access to the elements you want to find.

No need to worry about dependencies - we've got this great "CPAN" thing that Just Works.

Now if we could have a better testing DSL like Capybara has...

    Nice, thanks for this module Toby. Seamless JSON support is very welcome.

    jdrago999, Brownie is a Capybara-like test framework in Perl. I'm going to give it a try soon. There is a presentation here, where the author says s.he welcomes contributors.

    Not that I disagree with you, but I wouldn't want to write tests like that, even with a DSL -- I'd rather fireup HTTP::Proxy or selenium or WWW::Mechanize::Firefox, and record a session in my firefox

      It has been a while since I did that kind of testing...is HTTP::Recorder still the state-of-the-art or have things moved forward in the last 6 years?

      UPDATE: I just noticed there is a newer release as of July 2011.
