capture script links [enhancement, patch]

[spazm]

[email protected] reported on Jan 2, 2012

In the absence of a real perl javascript we can't actually use the content.
However I use WWW::Mechanize for testing web site logins for our monitoring
system and think it is useful to fetch script links, as problems loading
such links are usually reflected in the user experience.

you could quibble whether it's a defect or enhancement
but is there any reason this 1-line change can't be made ?

I get reminded with each release when I have to
produce a patch corresponding to the distribution.

I think this is fine. It probably hasn't been acted on because we're low on people power.

We could speed this up process with a pull request and an accompanying test. Does that sound reasonable?

Hi Danny,

Take good care of yourself! We'll keep this open until it's deal with.
