How do I do webtesting in Perl for pages that require JavaScript?

Question

I have found these two modules that purport to be able to puppet string browsers, but I have no experience with them, but my current test suite uses WWW::Mechanize. Does anybody have any information about these modules, or other methods of testing pages from Perl that require JavaScript?

To clarify, I am running my tests under Linux (Ubuntu 7.10).

• Mozilla::Mechanize
• GTK2::WebKit::Mechanize

Answer 1

Try WWW::Selenium, which uses your browser (through Perl) to handle JavaScript.

Answer 2

You might be able to make use of JavaScript::SpiderMonkey.
