WWW::Scripter issues with window.history

Question

I am using perl modules WWW::Scripter (based on WWW::Mechanize) with JavaScript plugin and I have problems with an essential JavaScript statement.

use WWW::Scripter;
...
my $web = WWW::Scripter->new(agent => '...', autocheck => 1);
...
$web->use_plugin('JavaScript');
...
$web->add_header(Referer => 'http://...');
...
$web->get($url);

where source code includes essential JavaScript statement, such as:

var x = window.history.length;

and this statement cannot be executed with WWW::Scripter module.

I have no issues with any other, even very complicated jquery statements. Just this one!

Any advice?

Answer 1

I have been in contact with the author of WWW::Scripter module and the above issue had been accepted as a bug. New WWW::Scripter version 0.026 with fix has been just uploaded. It should work now...

[UPDATE]

New version 0.027 has been just released. After fix of window.history object in version 0.026, the latest one contains fix for javaEnabled (as implementation of this one was missing) and referer fix for all sub-requests.
