Mr. Lee's posts are regularly riddled with severe errors (I found the assertion that LWP::Simple and LWP::UserAgent aren't part of the standard base perl install a particularly amusing one in this particular post). Please be advised that you should get your perl information from accurate sources. http://learn.perl.org is an excellent place to start, with pointers to excellent Perl books and even some readable for free online (notably Beginning Perl). -- Christopher Mattern "Which one you figure tracked us?"
