So, this appears to my week for stumpers.

This one seems so obvious that there must be a solution, but I can't find it. Could there be a bug in URI?

The code below works on this url only if I add a slash. Problem is that this a program run on URLs that may or may not have a slash. I have corrected it with some regexes that added the slash at the end if it is not there, but I am wondering why URI is not smart enough to figure this out on its own. 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTML::Parser;
use URI;

my $starturl = shift || die "No url supplied\n"; #"http://www.strathav
+en.s-lanark.sch.uk/pages/ring.htm"; #
my $baseuri = URI->new($starturl);
my $cururi;
my $url;
my @urls ;

push @urls,$starturl;

my $agent = new LWP::UserAgent;
my $parser = HTML::Parser->new(api_version => 3,
                                  start_h => [\&start ,"tagname, attr"
+]);

$agent->agent("Jonzilla/666");

while( $url = shift @urls)
  {
    my $request = new HTTP::Request 'GET' => $url;

    my $result = $agent->request($request);

    if ($result->is_success)
      {
    print "URL: $url\n";
    #print $result->as_string;
    $parser->parse($result->content);
      }
    else
      {
        print "Error: " . $result->status_line . " URL=$url, $baseuri\
+n";
      }
  }

sub start
  {
    my($tag,$attr) = @_;
    if ($tag eq 'frame' )
      {
    my $thisuri = URI->new($attr->{src});
        push @urls, $thisuri->abs($cururi);
      }
  }

I admit it, I am Paco.
