Not sure what to make of this error or how to go about troubleshooting it... using strawberry perl portablezip edition on a Virtual machine, so I'm not sure if that's what's causing this... Note that because I used -e on a windows cmd line I need to escape the double-quotes.

I:\perl>perl -e "use WWW::Mechanize;$mech=WWW::Mechanize->new() or die
+ \"Cannot create mech: $!\n\";$mech->get('http://www.google.com') or 
+die \"Cannot get: $!\";$page=$mech->content();print $page;"
Error GETing http://www.google.com: Can't connect to www.google.com:80
+ (Bad host
name) at -e line 1.

In reply to WWW::Mechanize can't GET; no helpful error message comes back by SamCG

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
