in reply to use HTTP::Cookies?

You will also have to install XML::Simple, which depends on XML::Parser. Before using CPAN.pm to install those you will have to install expat, the C library on top of which XML::Parser is built. You cannot do this with CPAN, you have to get and get it from sourceforge.

Note that Perlmonks Related Scripts has a complete list of... Perlmonks related scripts, my favorite (and not (only!) because it uses XML::Twig) being xluke_repwalker.pl, a pretty useful script to track your nodes reputation.

    I installed expat. Then I typed in 'perl -MCPAN -e shell' and then installed XML::Parser. All went well until I tried to install XML::Simple
    It seemed to find all the files necessary, but at the end it failed to test and install.
    Could somebody enlighten me...

      What exactly is the error? Compile-time or . . .?

      What platform are you using?

        Alright, I'm using Perl v5.6.0 on red hat linux 7.0
        It gives me an error that says "Running make test" and that make test won't run. Then it says "Running make install", and then says it can't install. I was reading about these errors and I was told to run perl Makefile.pl but when I try, it tells me that Makefile.Pl doesn't exist. I tried looking for it on my system, and the only thing I found was a "...Makefile.htm" I'm sure that I'm missing something small and probably very easy to fix, but of course, I can't figure it out for the life of me. Thanks in advance for all your help and for helping me out before. (All the other stuff worked and I was able to run some other scripts)
