DESCRIPTION

WWW::Mechanize::Plugin::Web::Scraper gives you the scraping power of Web::Scraper in WWW::Mechanize, hence the name ...

METHODS

scrape

scrape is the only new method that can be called (as of yet) and accepts process information as described in Web::Scraper. Note that the function process can (and should) be omitted. The scraper will use the current WWW::Mechanize content, so make sure to "browse" to the right page before calling the scrape function.

BUGS

Bugs? Most likely you want to pester either Andy (if WWW::Mechanize is broken), Joe (if WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable isn't working as expected) or Tatsuhiko (the Web::Scraper mastermind).

If these three people can't help, it then might be possible that this module is to blame (ok, I admit it, this module probably *is* to blame to begin with). Please be so kind to report it to http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Create.html?Queue=WWW-Mechanize-Plugin-Web-Scraper.
