in thread LWP::SIMPLE fails on certain URL

Hmmm ... i did check the content of the result and nothing was there. I ran the program in the browser, viewed the source and zilch. Regarding what you managed to pull off the site ... it's interesting that the portion retreived is only a fraction of what can be viewed if the URL is entered in the "Address:" box of the browser and source code viewed. I'm still unclear on what may be happening here.

    Here is the code I used: 
    #!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use LWP::Simple;

my $url = "http://wire.ap.org/APnews/center_minor.html?FRONTID=SCIENCE
+";
my $body = get("$url");
print "$body";

    [download]

    If this helps $LWP::Simple::VERSION = 1.35

    Update: I ran it a couple more times and I continue to get content.

    grep> cd pub
