The new 1.40 release of Test::WWW::Mechanize adds functions to help scrape text from your HTML as you test it. This should make things much easier for your integration test of your web apps. For example, if you want to make sure that this shows up: <h1>My awesome page!</h1> then you can add an id attribute to the <h1> <h1...

I don't want to listen to the mp3s in my browser, and I don't want to manually do the Save As dance...
