Hi!
I tested the script in another UNIX server and it runs fine so i think
everything is fine.
In the server I want to run this script the required module is installed
"LWP:Simple" and I think this module and the required by this module
"Sockets", etc are in the rght library structure.
I checked the error log and no error is reported when running the script.
This is the whole script:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use LWP::Simple;
$url='http://www.yahoo.com'; #for example
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
print get($url);
print "<br>end of output";
The output is: end of output
and the page is not returned and no errors
This script in other UNIX server returned the yahoo! page and 'end of
output' text at the end of the page.
I dont understand. Please let me know if you know what could be happening.
Thanks in advance,
Mauricio
