Two problems:
  1. Trying to use the snippet at grab HTTP Response and Headers gets me 
    500 (Internal Server Error) Can't connect to home.earthlink.net:80 (Ti
+meout)

    [download]
    and a date-time stamp if fed http://home.earthlink.net/~marinersk/ from the command line.
  2. Trying to use the snippet at Re: HTML::Form problem gets me 
    Use of uninitialized value in substr at C:/Perl/site/lib/HTML/PullPars
+er.pm line 82.
Use of uninitialized value in length at C:/Perl/site/lib/HTML/PullPars
+er.pm line 85.
Parse failed at httpgrab2.pl line 15.

    [download]
  3. Took the 'w' off the options list on the first line and eliminated the first two errors in #2 above, but still got the "Parse failed" message.

What am I doing wrong?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
