Dear monks,

Following the manual, I displayed the exit code and status line from a response object I got using the lwp::useragent.
I thought the response should totally comply the rules from a common HTTP::Response structure, so I'm fetching its information as following:

$res = $ua->request($req);
print "$res->code\:\t$res->status_line";
print "$res->message";

However, it gave me such display:
HTTP::Response=HASH(0x8dd8414)->code:        HTTP::Response=HASH(0x8dd8414)->status_line
HTTP::Response=HASH(0x8dd7e40)->message

On other hand, I can get the content from those methods by de-referencing their output, but I guess that may not be the formal way.
So, can anyone please let me know what's wrong with using the '->code/->message' on the response? Or maybe I have some misunderstanding about the response structure generated from lwp::useragent instead of directly from the http::response?


Thanks in advance
