It looks like the problem is getting the actual data of the page back from your HTTP request. To do that, use something like this:

# assuming you already have $ua and have given it a cookie jar...

my $req = new HTTP::Request('GET', $url, $headers);
my $response = $ua->request($req);

# now $response is a HTTP::Response object, like the one
# in your question

if ($response->is_success) {
    print "Content-type: " . $response->headers->content_type . "\n\n"
+;
    print $response->content;
} else {
    print "Error!!\n";
    print $response->as_string, "\n", $response->content;
}

Well, I didn't get a HTTP response object, but the response is still indicative of my previous attempts. My ~/.cookies.txt file wasn't created; do I need to somehow copy my existing Moz cookies into that file for the script to read from?

As of now, I have:


use CGI;
require LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request;

$ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$ua->cookie_jar({ file => "$ENV{HOME}/.cookies.txt" });
$url = 'http://www.somesite.com';

my $req = new HTTP::Request('GET', $url, $headers);
my $response = $ua->request($req);


if ($response->is_success) {
    print "Content-type: " . $response->headers->content_type . "\n\n"
+;
    print $response->content;
} else {
    print "Error!!\n";
    print $response->as_string, "\n", $response->content;
}

The HASH(0x83c5680) bit is telling you that something is trying to access a perl hash reference without dereferenceing it.

It is pretty near impossible to attempt to diagnose the what or the why, without you supplying a little more information.

Like where are you getting the "return" from? Is it part of an error or warning text? What code were you using, and which line(s) gave the "return"?
