[cxw]

I am new to this forum and am trying to use use
use strict;
use diagnostics;

but my pl page will not display.
We run Windows 2003 server with perl installed on it.

This works:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use URI::Escape;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use XML::Simple;
use Data:umper;
use Net::SMTP;

This gives the error:
"Script failed to send data."

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use diagnostics;
use URI::Escape;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use XML::Simple;
use Data:umper;
use Net::SMTP;

What do I need to do to get the use strict; and use diagnostics; to work?
Thank you,
Chip

You just add them in like you did. They are only going to tell about problems with your perl code and not about connectivity problems.

don't do this:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

do this instead:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;

Obviously there must be much more code in your program than the loading of modules and pragmas. The error message you are getting is associated with the rest of the code, not what you posted.
