Got it now. Not just looking at the line to see what was up before reporting the issue didn't help, sorry for being a bit dumb :) Now I've had a proper wade in out of my depth.... the update uses a specific user agent to make the update URL provide the current release of get_iplayer? The odd entries in your httpd logs will be me trying to figure out if the web server is saying the text format is ISO-8859-15, or if it is when perl writes the file (something I would probably struggle to figure out). I'd like to say cheers for the plentiful comments in the code, that does help the perl-blind :) Nick _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
