I'd almost be willing to bet it is because Bill needs to set his "http_proxy" environment variable (assuming that he is supposed to go through a proxy server). Bill, after you do so, type this: "set". This will echo out all of your environment variables. Make sure your "http_proxy" variable is set. Depending on how you create your environment variable, you may need to invoke a new Command window. Make sure it is now set.
And yes, I could be barking up the wrong tree here, but it has a good chance of being true (if you use a proxy). -- Mike Arms [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Reinhard Pagitsch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2004 7:19 AM To: activeperl mailing list Subject: Re: LPW UserAgent Dear Bill, It works for me also. The only _error_ is that the page you are looking for is not found on the server: <><result> Sorry, but the page you requested is unavailable. If you are looking for a FAQ, many of them have moved, try starting here. </result> Maybe you have to specify a proxy server in your environment?

Maybe you can see error messages if you check with $response->is_success useing $response->error_as_HTML mit freundlichen Gr��en, with my best regards, Reinhard _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
