HI,
i am facing a problem with a script i wrote
following is the code
use LWP::UserAgent; my($DEBUG,$proxy,$user,$pwd,$timeout,$VPO)= &get_options; if ($proxy eq '') { print " No Proxy Server specified\n" if ($DEBUG); $proxy='<noproxy>'; $ua=LWP::UserAgent->new; $ua->timeout($timeout) if(defined($timeout)); $req=HTTP::Request->new(GET=> "$url"); $res= $ua->request($req); print "$url---url\n" if($DEBUG); print "status=",$res->status_line,"\n" if($DEBUG); print "is_success=",$res->is_success,"\n" if($DEBUG); }

this used to work just fine.
yesterday i downloaded the new libwww version 5.69 and now i get the following error
FAILED,ERROR:500 Unrecognized identifier s in argspec
i know its a vague questions but those of you who use lwp may have come across the same.
thanks
