Hello. I'm very new to perl and to LWP especially. I am trying to "getstore" information from a webpage but whenever I do this, the saved file is a 0k and completely blank. When I replace that same line with another website, I end up getting the source for that site. I have already enabled the pretend to be a browser thing $browser->agent("Mozilla/4.76 [en] (Win98; U)"). I think the webpage is thwarting me. What are some next steps to figure out if the webpage is blocking me or if my script is just messed up? The fact that it works for other sites makes me think the webpage is blocking me.

thanks **** THIS HAS BEEN RESOLVED **** thanks everyone!
