Have you tried running this as the apache user: $ /path/to/perl -MLWP::Simple -le 'getprint "http://my.url/to/get";' This will tell you if the problem is with LWP::Simple or something else. Next, do a little ls -l `perldoc -l LWP::Simple` and make sure that the permissions are right. (darren) -- Whatever is done for love is beyond good and evil. -- Friedrich Neitzsche
