I had no trouble with navigating from the above link to downloading http://mirrors.valueclick.com/perl/backup.pause/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.00.tar.gz. >It seems that upgrading from 5.005_02 to 5.6.1 is inevitable, but this >process would require additional time and resources to recertify all >of our existing programs on 5.6.1. No, it's not supposed to be that difficult and I don't believe it is. I just tested the latest HTTP::Request and URI against Perl 5.004_04 and it had no compilation problem. The error you cite is a run-time error that is not indicative of using too old a perl. Recommendation: use the *latest* libwww and URI. (Get Bundle::LWP.) You haven't shown your program here so we can't tell how the error might lie there, but here's a hint: if the GET program supplied with libwww works, the problem is in your code. -- Peter Scott Pacific Systems Design Technologies http://www.perldebugged.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
