Best guess. You have a downlevel or broken install. Try this. You'll need to swap "s for 's if your on *nix. 

perl -MLWP::Simple -e"print get(q[http://home.earthlink.net/~marinersk
+/])"

If that works, then you've a starting point, if it doesn't, consider verifying/upgrading/re-installing your perl install?

    Well, improvement -- no output at all.

      My best guess is that you (or your isp) are using a proxy. Read the section of the pod for LWP::UserAgent on the $ua->proxy(...) method.

        DOH!

        I'm at work and we do use a proxy server.

        That'll teach me to play with personal code from work. And, of course, it goes without saying that I should quit trying to skip the RTFM stage of my personal Perl development...*sigh*

        Thanks, everyone. I think I learned about 8 things on just this thread alone.
