Finally using manual methods suggested I was able to build WWW::Mechanize::Firefox on Win32 to the extent that 'use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox;' in and out of itself does not cause an error.

However the object itself can not be created:

use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox;

open STDERR,'>>out.txt';

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Firefox->new();

##########################

output:

Failed to connect to , problem connecting to "localhost", port 4242: N
+em hozható létre kapcsolat, mert a célszámítógép már visszautasította
+ a kapcsolatot. at C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/MozRepl/Client.pm line

The languge of my op. system is not english so the error message rougly means: 'connection failed because the destination computer refused to establish connection'. This message popped up during the build many times by the way. Note I've installed the necessary plugin for Firefox (mozrepl) and Firefox was running when I've received this message (I switched off the firewall but to no avail).

Any thoughts on that?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
