I was under the impression that my question made it clear that I had no idea if the problem was perl- or sharepoint-related. Therefor my cause of action was to post it to perl- and sharepoint-professionals in the hope that someone has dealt with it before.

Corion reviewed my code and found out that I was using LWP the wrong way - which has now solved my problem. This makes me believe, that I was right in bothering the monks with my question.

But I have to admit, that I had no idea, that this platform is so much different than others.

for example: If I post to Stackoverflow people are also answering questions in their free time and they don't see it as a burden to help others out. In addition their replies are polite and professional, which increases my feeling that I'm completely misunderstanding this platform.

Funny fact: I also started coding Basic before I got to perl. Okay, it was Commodore 64 Basic at first, but later VB for the most time, so I kind of know what you are talking about.

I'm real sorry, that you had such a hard time learning perl and linux. When I started all I got from my boss was a Camelbook and a Unix-Account. But those man-pages and the book made it much easier than I anticipated.

Over the years I had to work with many different systems and programming languages - but if possible, I always tried to use my beloved perl in linux, altough this got less and less popular (at least in the company I was working for).

I don't plan to stop using Windows, Linux, Perl, .net, etc. because I don't think I have to decide for either one. Those systems can coexist, they can interact and they all have their pros and cons. I even think there is a place for apple somewhere... altough I'm not yet sure of that ;)
