MozRepl output includes additional data?

[kitno455]

I am running MozRepl with Firefox 3.6.18. The wiki says:

repl> repl.home()
[object ChromeWindow]

But when I run it, I see:

repl> repl.home()
[object ChromeWindow] — {repl: {…}, JSONstring: {…},
gProgressMeterPanel: {…}, gFindBar: {…}, FirebugContext: null,
annotationService: {…}, constructor: {…}, ...}

All of this additional information causes some of the automated tests
of the perl MozRepl object to fail, and the install must be manually
forced.

Did the output of MozRepl change, or is my FF setup causing this?

The tutorial is slightly out of date. Currently, the return value of an expression is passed to repl.represent() before being shown. The reason for that is that often simply calling .toString() on a value isn't descriptive enough.

Probably it would be easier for the the Perl library to use an ad-hoc machine interface in the form of a custom interactor (https://github.com/bard/mozrepl/wiki/Custom-interactors) instead of trying to cope with a user interface.
