I'd really like to be able to talk to Bob! unfortunately it is not working for me, I can access the the url that is stored in $url via a web browser but when I run the code I get the following error causing me problems: Can't call method "value" on an undefined value at C:\Documents and Settings\me\My Documents\work\perl\bob.pl line 35. So I figured I'd check out what I retrieved from $respons->content; This is what's retrieved
