Catalyst is an elegant MVC Web Application Framework. 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.
