Re: [Http-webtest-general] Re: perl objects in HTTP::WebTest

[Gerry F. <ga...@cs...>]

Illya,

Sorry I haven't responded - I got sidetracked for a week. 

I think it's good enough for me to know that this should be working; I
assume I just have a bug in my code. I'd rather not waste your time
trying to debug my code (although if you're interested, I'm quite
willing to mail it all to you). 

I hadn't looked into plugins yet. Perhaps that's the way I should be
going, since the more time I spend at this, the more code I write in the
on_response hook. I guess that's where I'll head now...

Thanks for your help.

Gerry
