WWW::Mechanize can't GET; no helpful error message comes back

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

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.

No, those are all working fine, at least when I open up IE (not my personal browser choice, but meh). ----------------- _{s''limp';@p=split '!','n!h!p!';s,m,s,;$s=y;$c=slice @p1;so brutally;d;$n=reverse;$c=$s**$#p;print(''.$c^chop($n))while($c/=$#p)>=1;}	[reply]
