If this is really the code you have in your script, you are dealing with
several different errors. First of all, you need to have semi-colons (;)
at the end of each of your lines of code. Second, the arguments to "use
lib" should be real path names, not module names. You would need to change
the use lib statement to "use lib qw{/path/to/lib};" where lib is the
directory that LWP/Simple lives. So, just to start with, your code should
look something like this:
usr lib '/home/luvz99/lib/perl';
use LWP::Simple;
$doc = get ($url);
Also, since LWP::Simple is part of the standard distribution, there
shouldn't really be any reason to have the use lib anyway.
