Thx.

I am not sure if that is installed.  Would it be
inside Mechanize.pm that I can search for, or
something stand alone like mech-dump.pm ?

Not sure how to use 
 $ mech-dump http://use.perl.org/

Is that like "my $VAR = mech-dump($url);"

Where can I read more about it?  I looked at
mech-dump.t but I don't see how to execute mech-dump
in that code.
