HTTP request on Win2K

[derekmonner]

Hi all,

Quick system rundown first:
Windows 2000, ActivePerl 5.6.0 (full)

I'm having trouble when moving a script from my old unix server to this new Win2k server. I've gotten all the bugs worked out, except that I need to make an HTTP request. Now, I don't think that the request is being made at all. When the script is done, the $res->code and $res->content variables are both blank. I just don't know how to fix this... Is it a syntax difference between unix and Win2k? Is there a permissions problem somewhere? Any Ideas???

==========================

$url="

http://www.tek-tips.com/";

use lib "C:/Perl/html/site/lib/";
require LWP::UserAgent;
require HTTP::Request;
$| = 1;

my $qurl = "$url";
my $ch = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $snd = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $qurl);
$snd->header(Accept => 'text/html');
my $res = $ch->request($snd);
my $code= $res->code;
my $content= $res->content;

==========================

Thanks People,

I am guessing that you have thought of this already but just to check, you do have the relevant modules installed on the new system right?

Other than that I can't see why the code above should work differently. [sig]<p>fortytwo<br><a href=mailto:will@hellacool.co.uk>will@hellacool.co.uk</a><br><a href=
