Need Help??

Thank you, Corion for that example and link to your page which I have bookmarked!

It looks like the content I need is then stored in $res->{_content}. I had to first install LWP::UserAgent and LWP::Protocol::https to get this to work though.

I guess I need to get more familiar with the LWP, LWP::UserAgent and HTTP::Request modules.

What is the difference between LWP::UserAgent and Mojo::UserAgent, the latter which was also suggested to me to try to solve this?

Thanks again!

No - please use `$res->decoded_content` instead of reaching into the HTTP::Response hash. The difference between LWP::UserAgent and Mojo::UserAgent is mostly that LWP::UserAgent doesn't allow for parallel requests. Mojo::UserAgent is a bit more complex due to allowing for parallelism, but it also offers some more convenience stuff like handling JSON replies directly.	[reply] [d/l]

Ok, thank you again Corion! As you can clearly tell, I have no idea what I am doing! And thank you for clarifying the differences between LWP::UserAgent and Mojo::UserAgent.	[reply]
