Not very widely; practically you have to install it from CPAN.
Test::WWW::Mechanize::CGI is at v0.1, WWW::Mechanize::CGI is at v0.3.
But if Test::WWW::Mechanize::CGI is not installed, test would be not
run. If you are gitweb developer, then installing locally in $HOME
from CPAN is I guess viable option; if you are not gitweb developer, we
still have t/t9500-gitweb-standalone-no-errors.sh
The whole point of using those packages was that it makes it _easy_
to write those tests. This consist of two parts:
1). running gitweb as if it was CGI application, which otherwise would
either require deep knowledge of how CGI application is invoked (what
it is in WWW::Mechanize::CGI and required dependence
HTTP::Request::AsCGI which I think does all the work) or working
web server, done a la "git instaweb",
2.) accessing and testing gitweb output (what Test::WWW::Mechanize,
WWW::Mechanize does; we could do the same with LWP* modules from
libwww-perl / perl-libwww-perl package and Test::More from Perl, but
it would be repeating Test::WWW::Mechanize work).
