Two main differences is that: 1) HTTP::WebTest doesn't run JavaScript code 2) HTTP::WebTest itself doesn't treat HTML pages in some special way. I.e. it doesn't fetch images, frames, other linked from HTML page resources. Though such capability could be added with plugin. LE> 3. Where can I find a good tutorial and practical examples? For practical examples see perldoc HTTP::WebTest::Cookbook. As for a good introduction tutorial I don't think somebody have wrote one. It is my TODO but it probably will not happen soon. Ed Fancher wrote two articles about HTTP::WebTest but they cover very specific application of this Perl module and hardly qualify as good introduction tutorial. Anyway you may find them interesting: http://www.ethercube.net/articles/Browser%20Version%20Testing/Article.php http://www.ethercube.net/articles/Browser%20Version%20Testing%20using%20plu= gins/Article.php There are also some examples on http://www.naney.org/encyclopedia/HTTPWebTest.html but it is in Japan. --=20 Ilya Martynov, il...@ip...
