Martin Wilke 89102a6fba Test::WWW::Mechanize is a subclass of WWW::Mechanize that incorporates
features for web application testing. The Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
module meshes the two to allow easy testing of Catalyst applications
without starting up a web server.

Testing web applications has always been a bit tricky, normally starting
a web server for your application and making real HTTP requests to it.
This module allows you to test Catalyst web applications but does not
start a server or issue HTTP requests. Instead, it passes the HTTP
request object directly to Catalyst. Thus you do not need to use a real
hostname: "http://localhost/" will do.
