NAME

WWW::Mechanize::Plugin::Sleepy - A WWW::Mechanize plugin to provide the behaviour of WWW::Mechanize::Sleepy while using WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable

VERSION

version 0.002

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
