NAME WWW::Mechanize::Plugin::Sleepy - A WWW::Mechanize plugin to provide the behaviour of WWW::Mechanize::Sleepy while using WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable VERSION version 0.003 SYNOPSIS Set all Mechanize objects to sleep for 5 seconds between requests: use WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable Sleepy => [ sleep => 5 ]; or, set single Mechanize instance to sleep for 5 seconds between requests: use WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable; my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable->new( sleep => 5 ); To change sleep time: $mech->sleep(2); # now sleep for 2 seconds per request To sleep for a random number of seconds, specify the range as a string in the following format: 'i1..i2' # e.g. will sleep between 5 and 10 seconds, inclusive $mech->sleep('5..10'); DESCRIPTION This module makes it easy to slow down WWW::Mechanize when using WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable, in the manner of WWW::Mechanize::Sleepy. The code merely adds hooks containing a "sleep()" before several WWW::Mechanize methods, but is possibly preferable to scattering "sleep()"s throughout code in order to slow down tests, for example. METHODS sleep $mech->sleep(1); $mech->sleep('5..10'); my $sleep = $mech->sleep; Get/set sleep time ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Code and tests based on WWW::Mechanize::Sleepy SEE ALSO * WWW::Mechanize::Sleepy * WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable SUPPORT Bugs / Feature Requests Please report any bugs or feature requests through the issue tracker at .
