Yes thanks... I want to capture the code of a webpage to a string so I can pick out the stuff I want and put the code into another of my design.
I will try your suggestion Is there another way to do this? with out the LWP::UserAgent???? I see you are using a get command.. ok I know about those.... to say it better I want to get the output / HTML code from another web site... the stuff between the <HEAD> to </BODY> commands... clearer? many thanks.. I am real new to this... I'll look up the perldoc stuff too. Lou > my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(); > my $response = $ua->get($host_port); The perl code above is what I want ? yes? Thanks Lou The code below just gets me the name of your home page as a string..... correct? > but were I to do something like say > my $url = URI->new(); > $url->scheme('http'); > $url->host($host_port); > $url->path('/drieux'); > > my $response = $ua->get($url->as_string()); > > would get you my 'home page' of that site. > > So it's rather important which part of that process > you were trying to 'solve'. > > cf perldoc URI > perldoc LWP::UserAgent > > > ciao > drieux > > --- > > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
