Search this site for references to LWP with Super Search, then download it via your favorite method (or go to http://search.cpan.org if you don't have one). You should also look at perldoc for LWP. It's a very commonly used module and there is a lot of information available on how to do things with it. This is useful too: How to RTFM (thanks for reminding me, podmaster)	[reply]
