i got this to work. my method is ugly. i noticed everywhere that
URI::URL was being used in mod_perl and embperl, LWP::UserAgent
was being used.
also, i found this is the LWP (libwww-perl-5.5395) release notes:
HTTP::Request, HTTP::Response will by default now use "URI" class,
instead of "URI::URL", when constructing its URI objects. This
has a potential for breaking existing code as URI::URL objects had
some extra methods that external code might depend upon.
so - i performed this patch in (perlsitelib)/(perlversion)/LWP:
--------snip---------
--- UserAgent.pm.orig Thu Aug 2 14:12:56 2001
+++ UserAgent.pm Tue Aug 21 12:09:24 2001
@@ -2,7 +2,7 @@
package LWP::UserAgent;
use strict;
-
+use URI::URL; # make mod_perl and others happy
=head1 NAME
LWP::UserAgent - A WWW UserAgent class
--------snip---------
looks like the next version of mod_perl and embperl will need
to be patched:
'use URI::URL'
in all places where its objects are created and
it's methods are being called.
hope this helps,
