NAME

       WWW::Mechanize::Link - Link object for WWW::Mechanize

SYNOPSIS

       Link object to encapsulate all the stuff that Mech needs but nobody wants to deal with as an array.

Constructor
   new()
	   my $link = WWW::Mechanize::Link->new( {
	       url  => $url,
	       text => $text,
	       name => $name,
	       tag  => $tag,
	       base => $base,
	       attr => $attr_href,
	   } );

       For compatibility, this older interface is also supported:

	new( $url, $text, $name, $tag, $base, $attr_href )
