[solved] WWW::Mechanize::Firefox->new() tcp/ip port?

[ground0]

I know from reading perldoc I can set the Mozrepl plugin port by doing:

$ENV{MOZREPL} = 'localhost:42424';

However, this seem to cause strange problem when I use Parallel::ForkManager and $mech->content...

I am wondering if there is a way I can pass 'port => 42424' to constructor, as I see in Client.pm it take that argument.

My personal advice is to avoid mixing fork and WWW::Mechanize::Firefox, unless you fork way before creating the connection to Firefox.

The WWW::Mechanize::Firefox documentation specifies the repl parameter, which allows you to pass in:

repl - a premade MozRepl::RemoteObject instance or a connection string suitable for initializing one

I wonder how that could be formulated to be more clear so that you yould have found it directly.

I tried with repl => "localhost:port" and I get same mixup. Somehow when $html = $mech->content happen in each fork it get confused and mix up all the $html.

This make it so my temporary sanitized html files have wrong document element mixed in.

Since this happen *in* the fork I guess I misunderstand when you say do way before the fork! :)

PS) I forgot to mention this inside a *nested* fork, if that matter.

Then maybe that mixup is not connected with how you construct your WWW::Mechanize::Firefox object?
