sec too small

djten has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I want to retrieve the contents of a simple online web page, and decided to use WWW::Mechanize. I have started with the following, just to see if it would basically work.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize;

# location to retrieve from
my $url = "http://ivoryhomes.com/ksl";
# new Mechanize object
my $ma = WWW::Mechanize->new();
# retrieve data
$ma->get($url);

exit;

It seems to work, but when I run it from the shell, I get the following output.

Day too big - 26782 > 24855
Sec too small - 26782 < 74752
Sec too big - 26782 > 11647
Day too big - 26782 > 24855
Sec too small - 26782 < 74752

I have not been able to find where it's coming from. A dependency of Mechanize, one of the time modules? But I'm certainly not doing any date math in my script.

I have tried this with some different pages, and those messages always result.

Any ideas, anyone?

Have you tried upgrading the LWP::UserAgent (and prehaps WWW::Mechanize) modules? see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2185641/suppressing-day-too-big-warning-in-perl-lwpuseragent	[reply]

Does not happen here. Try removing some more lines from the script or running the script in a debugger (`perl -d`). Update: What Google told me. لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply] [d/l]

Well, as far as removing lines - it's a pretty small script, and there's only one line that actually does anything $ma->get($url). When I remove that line I don't get those "sec too small" and "day too big" messages coming back to me. But then the script doesn't really do anything any longer either.	[reply]
