Any ideas on where I go from here?
I get the same error, and also on Linux with 5.8.3 - it appears to be an error in the book. It's not mentioned in the errata listed on oreilly.com though. Maybe something's changed since the book was printed; it's not that old (Oct. '03), but it's possible, especially given the lead time for dead tree editions.
Installing Bundle::LWP works though - i.e. "perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::LWP'".

Hi,
That gets me a bit father along (or at least I think it does, since there's quite a bit of activity) but then it hangs up with this;

...Which is different from before (and therefore a welcome change) but still sounds bad.
Thanks for the hint about the errata. I didn't think of looking in at it - not that it would have helped this time. I've submitted an errata about this.
