Fixes rt.cpan.org #76714
Problem
Two examples in
WWW::Mechanize::Examples.podwere creatingWWW::Mechanizeobjects without explicitly settingautocheck => 0, then attempting to check$mech->successfor success/failure. Sinceautocheckis enabled by default in standaloneWWW::Mechanizeinstances, these examples would die immediately on failed requests and never reach the success check, making the manual check pointless.Changes
Fixed two examples that had this issue:
1. pb-upload example
2. quotes.pl example
Verification
All other examples in the file were reviewed and found to be correctly written:
autocheck => 1are already correct$response->is_successon HTTP::Response objects (not Mechanize objects) are correctPOD syntax validated with
Pod::Simple::Checker.Original prompt
Fixes #83
