Test-WWW version 0.11
=====================

Test::WWW is a basic module for the testing of Web applications. It is based
on a combination of WWW::Mechanize and Test::Builder, allowing it to be used
in conjunction with any other of the Test::Builder-based mechanisms.

In particular it includes the simple_scan utility, a test generator program
that allows people who are not particularly familiar with Perl to code
basic page tests.

Both Test::WWW::Simple and simlpe_scan provide a means of controlling whether
or not page fetches are cached; using caching for pages which do not change
on each fetch can dramatically decrease the runtime of tests which do multiple
checks on the same URL.

INSTALLATION

To install this module type the following:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

DEPENDENCIES

This module requires these other modules and libraries:
WWW::Mechanize (available from CPAN)
Test::Builder (supplied with most Perl 5.6 and up installations)
