When you download the PerlMonks-2.2 (Zzamboni) code and run it on WinXP it shows "All is quiet" when it really is not. I am running the getchat.pl in the distribution.

My question is this: how does this work? A debug of the code show that Perlmonks/Chat.pm is using LWP::UserAgent to get the ?node=chatterbox+xml+ticker. The ticker shows some standard xml, but no comments from users eventhough there are people actively chatting. Logging in with username and password does nothing really different other than go to node 109 and log you in first.

Anybody else seeing this?
