Re: Re: LWP::Simple emversus/em ASP ?

Thanks - that helps - I would never have got there on my own. I now don't get a "Use of uninitialized value in print" warning. But aggravatingly I find that $html is empty. I'm completely puzzled by that. When you ran it, did you find that you got a page (albeit mutilated by broken links) when you printed $html? I just get a blank space - but only with that url; other urls give me a page.

Is this running from a CGI script? I do get a page, and it's a frameset. That would look blank viewed in a web browser, because the the frames are specified using relative links. If you mean that the `$html` string is literally empty, try adding the line `use LWP::Debug;` [download] before the get() call. You'll get a detailed trace of what LWP is doing, which should help you to diagnose the problem.	[reply] [d/l]

A frameset is exactly what it was... now I know how to make it work. Thanks a zillion :) § George Sherston	[reply]
