Other than no 'use strict;' and '-w' in the '#!' line? Try single stepping into URI->new() with the Perl debugger. It's all Perl code, so you ought to be able to find out why the 'http:' scheme in the URI isn't getting picked up and converted to the appropriate implementing class. I cut and pasted your code into the following script and it works for me (URI-1.21). It should work with URI-1.22 since I don't see any changes in URI.pm that would affect this. #!/usr/bin/perl -w use URI; use strict; my $url_use = "http://link.clientname.com/path_name";; my $url = URI -> new( $url_use ); my $host_name = $url -> host(); print "$host_name\n"; exit 0; -- Mac :}) ** I normally forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
