Hi Pramod,
Can you please give the exact location of the LWP section you are refering
to as I can't find a dedicated section in the ref guide at perl.com. Even
when I do a find, he comes up with the cpan and linpro.no site.
(I always use the man page but like to have some more examples and docs)
What am I missing ??
Regards,
Ed Bras
