Try splitting up your problem in two parts: `$fname = "john"; $lname = "doe"; $ctry = "canada"; my $url = 'https://www.google.com/?firstname=$fname&lastname=$lname&co +untry=$ctry'; print "Requesting ", $url, "\n"; my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $url);` [download] Also, you might want to learn about single and double quotes and how they differ in behaviour: `my $single_quoted = 'https://www.google.com/?firstname=$fname&lastname +=$lname&country=$ctry'; my $double_quoted = "https://www.google.com/?firstname=$fname&lastname +=$lname&country=$ctry"; print 'Single quotes:', $single_quoted, "\n"; print "Double quotes:", $double_quoted, "\n";` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

It fails because you are still using single quotes.	[reply]
