    DOH!
    that's what I get for taking the perldoc example too literally without thinking.
    Last time? *wince* 
    use strict;
use LWP::Simple;

print &getHTML('http://www.perlmonks.org');

sub getHTML($) {
   return getprint(shift);
}

    minus error checking, of course . . .

      Doh! Nope, that one prints it, just like the word says. You want this: 
      use strict; 
use LWP::Simple; 
 
print &getHTML('http://www.perlmonks.org'); 
 
sub getHTML { 
   return get(shift); 
}

      which just gets it, just what you want.
