Hi All

I tried to grab a page using this code on my Mint10 PC. For some reason it chokes. I tried the same on another Mint17 PC connected through the same network and it worked. But I don't understand what the error is trying to tell me. Any suggestions? I was able to get python to get the same page on the Mint10 PC too using python's urilib.

Here's the code

    use LWP::UserAgent;
    use HTTP::Request::Common qw(GET);
    use HTTP::Cookies;

    my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;

    # Define user agent type
    $ua->agent('Mozilla/8.0');

    # Cookies
    $ua->cookie_jar(
        HTTP::Cookies->new(
            file => 'mycookies.txt',
            autosave => 1
        )
    );

    # Request object
    my $req = GET 'http://www.perlmeme.org';

    # Make the request
    my $res = $ua->request($req) || die "Bad Get";

    # Check the response
    if ($res->is_success) {
        print $res->content;
    } else {
        print ">> ",$res->status_line . "\n";
    }
