== DESCRIPTION:

The Mechanize library is used for automating interaction with websites.  
Mechanize automatically stores and sends cookies, follows redirects,  
can follow links, and submit forms. Form fields can be populated and  
submitted. Mechanize also keeps track of the sites that you have  
visited as a history.

== CHANGES:

= 0.6.1

- Added a method to Form called “submit”. Now forms can be submitted by  
calling a method on the form.
- Added a click method to links
- Added an REXML pluggable parser for backwards compatability. To use  
it,  
just do this:  
agent.pluggable\_parser.html = WWW::Mechanize::REXMLPage
- Fixed a bug with referrers by adding a page attribute to forms and  
links.
- Fixed a bug where domain names were case sensitive.
