Of course! Should have thought of this myself, since it's exactly the trick 
I've already used with some Selenium tests. Thank you very much for reminding 
me of that one.

With this problem fixed I continued to implement more Selenium functionality 
and separated it into three modules: WWW::WebKit, Test::WWW::WebKit and 
Test::WWW::WebKit::Catalyst.

Code is available on:
https://github.com/niner/WWW-WebKit

Metadata, and build files are missing and there are almost no test. But the 
existing tests show how to use the modules and from there on the Selenium 
documentation can be used.

Now I only have to find an equal workaround for WebKit not yet supporting 
synthesizing of drag and drop events.

Thanks to all for the help so far!
