Changes for version 0.62

  • THINGS THAT MIGHT BREAK YOUR CODE
    • The parms for find_link()'s url_regex and text_regex must now be actual regex objects, as in qr// objects. They can't just be little text strings. If this is a big bummer, let me know.
  • ENHANCEMENTS
    • Added autocheck parm, to tell your Mech object to die on any error. This saves you from having to check yourself. This closes RT #3056.
    • Renamed the internal _carp() method as warn().
    • Added a die() method.
    • Can now override the warn() and die() handlers in the constructor.
    • find_link() now complains if it gets a *_regex parm that isn't actually a regex. See RT #3032.
  • FIXES
    • mech-dump.t no longer runs if you're not installing mech-dump. See RT #3724.
  • DOCUMENTATION
    • More FAQs. Thanks to Gavin Estey.
