in thread Need help with WWW::Mechanize and Chrome cookies

The links for these files 
<a class="txt" href="file.txt"> Text File </a>

[download]
can be obtained using the WMC instance by doing something like this 
my @links = $mech->find_all_links( text_contains => 'some description 
+etc... ' );
my @urls = map { $_->[0] } @links;

[download]
In the case of WWW::Mechanize (WM) you can simply download the files using this code 
for my $foo (@urls)
{
   my $filename = '/path/'.$foo;
   $mech->get($foo, ':content_file'=>$filename);
}

Unfortunately, this function does not work with WWW::Mechanize::Chrome (WMC). I hope the Author of WMC can shed some light on this or provide a patch. Thank you.
