I've just had a go at installing WebDriver::Tiny but it appears to need 
Perl >= 5.20. An fully up to date Centos 7 only has 5.16.3. I've no idea 
how to upgrade to 5.20 safely without breaking what is already installed.

I do find it frustrating that I have a working Selenium::Firefox setup, 
but can't find usable documentation.
