This module provides all of the same functionality of WWW::Mechanize, but
|
|
adds support for plugins using Module::Pluggable; this means that any
|
|
module named WWW::Mechanize::Plugin::whatever... will be found and loaded
|
|
when WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable is loaded.
|
|
|
|
Big deal, you say. Well, it becomes a big deal in conjunction
|
|
with WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable's other feature: plugin hooks. When plugins
|
|
are loaded, their import() methods can call WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable's
|
|
prehook and posthook methods. These methods add callbacks to the plugin
|
|
code in WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable's methods. These callbacks can act
|
|
before a method or after it, and have to option of short-circuiting the
|
|
call to the WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable method altogether.
|
|
|
|
These methods receive whatever parameters the WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable
|
|
methods received, plus a reference to the actvive Mech object.
|
|
|
|
All other extensions to WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable are handled by the
|
|
plugins.
