As if I did not think so. No you do not need to replace spaces by plus signs! You need to escape the string for inclusion in a query string! use CGI::Enurl qw(enurl); my $geoaddress = enurl($rawaddress); or use URI::Escape qw(uri_escape); my $geoaddress = uri_escape($rawaddress); Jenda ===== je...@krynicky.cz === http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz ===== When it comes to wine, women and song, wizards are allowed to get drunk and croon as much as they like. -- Terry Pratchett in Sourcery -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
