It’s whatever is current, but I’ve used WWW::Mechanize on MacOS for the last *mumble* versions, never having wget installed, without any problem. I also just checked, and the string ‘wget’ does not appear in the WWW::Mechanize dist at all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ j. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/

Always has; not sure why. ‘wget’ is *NOT* required for WWW::Mechanize on MacOS, however. I’m not sure what was behind the resolution of your problem, but I can assure you I’m typing this on a Macintosh without wget installed, and WWW::Mechanize works just fine. chrs, john. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/

Weird. Which OS are you running? I’m on 10.11.6. Perhaps something else got installed along with wget, but whatever it was, that install solved my problem.

WWW::Mechanize requires wget
This is a heads up for anyone wanting to use WWW::Mechanize on OS X. I’ve been fighting with WWW::Mechanize all morning, trying to get it to work with no success. There were no error messages telling me what was wrong. I checked my firewall to see if anything was being blocked, but it wasn’t. I finally ran across a post where someone was asked if they were able to access the target web site using wget, so I decided to try that myself. Terminal told me that wget wasn’t found. So… off to homebrew to install wget, and lo and behold, Mech now works! I went back to see if Mech had wget as a dependency, but nothing was mentioned on CPAN. So just in case someone else was having the same trouble, I thought I’d post this. Not sure why wget wasn’t installed with Xcode Developer Tools.
