I am facing a problem using LWP inside an ePerl page.  The following

I'll note that LWP::Simple generally tries to use raw socket stuff (via its _trivial_http_get function) to do basic stuff, but exporting $ua (among other things) makes LWP::Simple switch to doing everything using a real LWP::UserAgent object.
But I don't know why one way would work under ePerl but the other wouldn't!

Hopefully someone who knows ePerl's quirks might be able to advise.
