Perhaps they have wised to me, but at 5 URL/s they don't seem to have taken offence. It would be nice if Mojo::UserAgent allowed the useragent details to be set, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

I have read from the book of Mojolicious at the temple of CPAN and the code you cite but I can't get it to work (or not work). I haven't found specific details so I interpret the if tree to be "look for 200" (aka is_success is a 200 response code), if not look for a connection problem (aka is_error means the GET timesout for some reason).

Specifically, if I run 

use Mojo::UserAgent;

# Fine grained response handling (dies on connection errors)
my $ua  = Mojo::UserAgent->new;
my $res = $ua->get('mojoliciousness.org/perldoc')->result;
if    ($res->is_success)  { print $res->body }
elsif ($res->is_error)    { print $res->message }
elsif ($res->code == 301) { print $res->headers->location }
else                      { print 'Whatever...' }
print "Got to the end\n";

with the correct URL, it works correctly and spits out the perldoc page and the extra message. Nowif I misspell the URL, like I have above, I'll get a "Can't connect: No such host is known" message but it doesn't show the "Got to the end" message i.e. the script terminates at is_error and I can't recover and move on.

Am I missing something here?
