So, I'm running perl 5.005_03 on an AIX box, and upgrading to a newer version isn't an option. I am having issues with LWP (libwww-perl-5.5396), though I suspect it's an installation specific issue.

perl -MLWP::Simple -e 'print get("http://www.perlmonks.org/");'
works fine, while
perl -MLWP::Simple -e 'getprint("http://www.perlmonks.org/");'
produces an error:

500 Can't locate auto/LWP/Protocol/MyHTTP/blocking.al in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/ppc-aix4.3 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/ppc-aix4.3 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) <URL:http://www.perlmonks.org/>

Using other LWP modules produces similar errors. So I have a couple questions: Has anyone else had this problem? Can anyone point me to some docs about the .al files?
