(Please bottom-post your replies to this group, so that extended threads can remain comprehensible. Thank you.) WWW::Mechanize is a subclass of LWP::Useragent, intended to add Web browser-like functionality to the facilities in LWP. It isn't intended as a replacement, and is of little use unless you need to emulate the use of browser software programmatically. Note that it provides no support either for JavaScript or for the non-standard features in Internet Explorer such as Active-X controls.
