NAME LWP::UserAgent::Patch::Retry - Add retries VERSION version 0.02 SYNOPSIS use LWP::UserAgent::Patch::Retry -n => 2, -delay => 3; DESCRIPTION This patch adds retries to LWP::UserAgent when response from request is not a success. Can be used with WWW::Mechanize because that module uses LWP::UserAgent. CONFIGURATION -n => INT (default: 2) Number of retries. Default is 2, which means it will retry twice (so the total number of requests is 3). -delay => INT (default: 3) Delay between retries, in seconds. -criteria => CODE Specify custom criteria of whether to retry. Will be passed "($self, $response)" and should return 1 if retry should be performed. For example if you do not want to retry on 404 errors: use LWP::UserAgent::Patch::Retry -criteria => sub { my ($self, $resp) = @_; return 1 if !$resp->is_success && $resp->code != 404; }; FAQ Why not subclass? By patching, you do not need to replace all the client code which uses LWP::UserAgent (or WWW::Mechanize, and so on). TODO More complex retrying delays (exponential backoff).
