=head1 NAME

Alien::SeleniumRC - Packages the Selenium Remote Control server.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Alien::SeleniumRC;
  Alien::SeleniumRC::start();

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The Selenium Server (formerly known as Selenium RC Server) is at
L

Selenium Server is a test tool that allows you to write automated web
application UI tests in any programming language against any HTTP
website using any mainstream JavaScript-enabled browser.

The Selenium Server is needed in order to run either Selenium RC style
scripts or Remote Selenium Webdriver ones. The 2.x server is a drop-in
replacement for the old Selenium RC server and is designed to be
backwards compatible with your existing infrastructure.

Selenium Server can automatically start/stop/control any supported
browser. It works by using Selenium Core, a pure-HTML+JS library that
performs automated tasks in JavaScript.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 C

This method launches the Selenium Server bundled in this package.
This call will block until the server is killed. The method will throw
an exception with C if the C call returns an error.

The first argument passed to start() will be passed to
selenium-server.jar as a command line argument.

=head2 C

Prints the selenium-server.jar usage.

=head1 UPDATING SELENIUM-SERVER.JAR

A copy of C is installed in the C
module directory. The Selenium RC version in this distribution is
B, released July 2015.

To update your local copy, download SeleniumRC from L
and extract the file C. Copy it to the Alien::SeleniumRC
module directory. On most systems, you can find that path by typing

    perldoc -l Alien::SeleniumRC

=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

Previous versions of L used C to launch the
Java process using C when running under any
version of Mac OSX. Running C in the middle of automated test
suites can be problematic and not always required so from 1.01 on this
is no longer the default behaviour.

To get the old behaviour back, set the environment variable
C to a true value before calling C.
