WWW::Scripter::Plugin::JavaScript::SpiderMonkey 0.003 (alpha)
A SpiderMonkey back end for WWW::Scripter’s JavaScript plugin
CHANGES IN THIS RELEASE
• A circular reference preventing the window (WWW::Scripter) object
from being freed has been fixed.
• Perl 5.8.8 no longer crashes on exit.
INSTALLATION
The easiest way to install this module is to use the cpan script:
[sudo] cpan WWW::Scripter::Plugin::JavaScript::SpiderMonkey
Or you can use the following (after installing the prerequisite mod-
ules listed below):
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
[sudo] make install
If that does not all go smoothly, make sure you have SpiderMonkey
installed in a place where JavaScript.pm can find it. The procedure I
use on Mac OS X is as follows (this will need to be adjusted slightly
for other Unixes, and a lot for Windows -- sorry I can’t help more):
First download one of the js-* files at
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/js/.
Then run:
tar xzf js-<version>.tar.gz
cd js/src
make -f Makefile.ref
sudo mv Darwin_DBG.OBJ/* /usr/local/lib
DEPENDENCIES
This module requires:
- perl 5.8.3 or higher (5.8.6 or higher recommended)
- JavaScript.pm 1.12 or higher
- HTML::DOM 0.008 or higher
- WWW::Scripter 0.016 or higher
- Hash::Util::FieldHash::Compat

DOCUMENTATION
After installing, you can find documentation for this module with the
perldoc command, although you will probably find the JavaScript
plugin’s docs to be more helpful:
perldoc WWW::Scripter::Plugin::JavaScript::SpiderMonkey
perldoc WWW::Scripter::Plugin::JavaScript
Or try using man (it’s faster, in my experience):
man WWW::Scripter::Plugin::JavaScript::SpiderMonkey
man WWW::Scripter::Plugin::JavaScript
