Corion says: Did you set the download directory (download_directory option) in the constructor?
-----------

The download_directory finally worked after finding out that chrome does not support paths in this format c:/path...
The download path has to use the backslash instead ( c:\path... ).

my $downloads =  = "C:\\path\\";
$mech->set_download_directory( $downloads);
$mech->get($foo);
[download]

My final question is how to stop chrome browser from loading some documents so that the download can be executed with WMC. If a document (such as a jpg) is loaded in the browser, the file does not download.
Thank you for your patience.

• 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.
