Can anyone explain why the following code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use LWP::Simple;
unless (head('http://www.123box.co.uk')) {
push (@error,"$FORM{'url'} head error.");
}
should push the error for the URL quoted and for http://www.quickwebmail.com but not for any other genuine URL I've tested it on?
BTW, "get" works fine on them.
According to LWPguru, Gisle Aas, the above construct can be used to test for the existence of a web page, and until today, that's always been true.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
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).
