Well, I got tired of waiting for others to do my bidding, so I decided to try to get it done myself instead... and perl doesn't churn my stomach, even though I do my best to avoid it for aesthetic reasons ;) I installled that package of yours, and found that I need perl-lwp-protocol-https (available in [extra]) in order to log in. It's a bit slow, but it seems to work nicely. Thanks for the tip! /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: [email protected] jabber: [email protected] twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
