Subject: [ANNOUNCE] WWW::Webrobot 0.80
Message-Id: <Iy2LuI.1K3I@zorch.sf-bay.org>
Webrobot 0.80 is now available on CPAN.
For all changes to previous versions see the Changes file
http://search.cpan.org/dist/webrobot/Changes
Webrobot http://search.cpan.org/dist/webrobot/ is a data driven http
client heavily based on LWP. The client action specification format
ist XML. Though the module itself is pure Perl it uses some CPAN
modules that are not. It can be used
* for automating http requests
* for a kind of web based unit tests
* for stress tests of web servers (very limited).
For more information see the README file in the distribution
http://search.cpan.org/dist/webrobot/lib/WWW/Webrobot/pod/README.pod
and the support page http://webrobot.abas.de containing screenshots
and tutorials.
The support page also contains instructions how to write test plans
with Mozilla by just visiting the desired pages.

Maybe you meant "originally", but you didn't mention it. We were all
originally babies, no: eggs, no: thoughts, etc.

De-compilation is not always hard. But source code is another subject.
You can easily modify a C-compiler such that it includes the source as
an accessible resource in the executable.
Is '#include' part (of your view) of the C-language? Is it possible to
use example code in the C-language to communicate algorithms with, like
with letters printed in books?

I get the same results with "ReadKey 0, $in" vs. "ReadKey '0E0', $in".
I didn't get why you use "getc" and not "ReadKey" (which not always uses
"getc").
See perldoc Term::ReadKey, under ReadKey MODE [, Filehandle], at the end
it mentions Windows and getc.
I was pointing to the difference between calling ReadKey with 0 and with
'0E0'. The first has the "erratic" behaviour, the second not. See the
conditionals involved in the source.
My conclusion at this moment: don't use "getc" but "ReadKey", and if you
don't want ReadKey to use getc, but still want a blocked read, use MODE
'0E0' (as a workaround).

There was a thread on this in news://nntp.perl.org//perl.dbi.users
recently.
That is the mailing list <dbi-users(AT)perl.org>, contact
<dbi-users-help(AT)perl.org> for help.

What puts you off Perl6? What would you choose to use in its place?
