https://github.com/markleightonfisher/WWW-Mechanize is a fork of WWW::Mechanize with a form_action method for finding a form using a regex that matches the form's action. (I've submitted this as a possible enhancement to WWW::Mechanize.)

I needed this when I encountered a page where the forms moved around based on whether you logged in as an ordinary user or an administrator. (Not my page, so don't blame me :( .)

In the latest DataCite Metadata Kernel document, section "2.2 Citation", DataCite recommends ("prefers" is their term) that original-format DOIs used in citations include the doi: scheme prefix.

I discovered (by accident) that in Moose you can be your own exception class:

package Local::Iam::MyOwn::Exception;

use Moose;

with 'Throwable';

sub ork {

    my ($self, $cow) = @_;

    if ($cow ne 'cow') {

        $self->throw("Need a 'cow', here!");

    }

    return ('ork', 'ork', 'ork');

}



package main;

my $lime = Local::Iam::MyOwn::Exception->new();

print join(' .. ', $lime->ork('cow')) . "\n";

print join(' .. ', $lime->ork('horse')) . "\n";

If you run this, you…
