upgrading www::mechanize
Hi monks, My current www::mechanize is version 0.72 because I installed it using ppm. I am wanting to upgrade it so I can use some function such as select, URI to do more stuff... How can I do this properly? I tried to use upgrade on ppm prompt, but it has taken minutes and still processing and has not shown me the available upgrades.
