Answers

1. Can I access WAP pages via a WAP gateway with wApua?

   No, wApua actually supports only the protocols supported by the libwww-perl, such as HTTP or FTP.

2. Can wApua interpret WMLScript

   Nope. Not yet.

3. Can wApua interpret WML forms

   No, but it may come with one of the next releases.

4. Can wApua display WMLC (Compiled WML) pages

   No, but it may come with one of the next releases.

5. Can wApua display HTML?

   No, but there probably will be external viewer support in one of the next versions.

6. Why do my WML pages show up as plain text?

   This is probably a known bug in wApua: WML pages, written with old tools or by using old documentation have PHONE.COM instead WAPFORUM in their DOCTYPE string. wApua up to version 0.05 treats those WML pages as non-WML pages. This bug has been fixed with version 0.06.

7. When will the next version come?

   When I got the time for writing it. But I don't know, when this will be... :-/

8. I installed wApua with PREFIX=$HOME (or something similar) and when I call it, it doesn't work!

   This is truly a bug, but it seems to be in MakeMaker. At least the man page of MakeMaker pretends, that it should work, but it doesn't. Hope to get it fixed somehow in the next version.

   Meanwhile you can add the location of your local Perl libraries using -I to the shebang line of bin/wApua: Add "-I<PREFIX>/lib" the first line of bin/wApua, so that it looks somehow like that:

   #!/usr/bin/perl -I<PREFIX>/lib/perl5/site_perl/<PERL-VERSION>/

   where <PREFIX> is, what you set PREFIX to and <PERL-VERSION> the version number of the Perl version, you ran the Makefile.PL with.

   For example, in my case this line looks like this:

   #!/usr/local/bin/perl -I/home/abe/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/
