Works fine for me. Your problem report leaves some room for improvement. :P `perl -MLWP::Simple -E 'say get("https://reuters.com/finance/stocks/ana +lyst/AMZN")' <!doctype html><html lang="en"><head> <title>Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O) Analysts \| Reuters.com</title> # et cetera…` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

As you can clearly see by the detailed error message you helpfully provided the problem is that your vreemflitzer has worn off the mandatory 23 micron coating of unobtanium. Recalibrate the neutron flow polarity through the APS relay on deck 19 and then jiggle the handle. Actually in your defense, LWP::Simple isn't giving you much of an error to work with. ~~In cases like this something like `curl -v` can be helpful; that shows that you need to use "www.reuters.com" instead. Once you do that it'll then redirect you to use "AMZN.0" instead.~~ Update: Nevermind me, I forgot to use `curl -L` to make it follow the redirects. Your original non-www-not-ending-.0 URL works fine for me as well. `ENOCAFFEINE (Insufficient brain function in user)` The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
