Hi Guys
I was hoping this would be a problem because I am struggling with the whole

A section of my code.

Dear subscribers,
I am having trouble using LWP::Simple with my hosting provider. They

ummm, if you set the display variable correctly and have an Xserver
running on the PC, sure you can. Why anyone would want to is beyond me..
use xterm for shell access and run any gui utils you like by hand.

Cuz q(a b c d) is the same as 'a b c d'. It's a literal string and there
is no interpolation.

That's nice, but I prefer:
