I just swept aside the dense curtain of cobwebs over the entrance to my cell and looked round the room I used to know so well but which I haven't for so long.. and my eye lighted on the Name Space node which I indexed ages ago. I wrote a script then to update the index and it worked fine. But now when I run it I get

Prototype mismatch: sub main::head vs ($) at ns.pl line 6

I think this is an LWP::Simple prob... but it's a complete new one on me. Has something change when I was in my Rip Van Winkle sleep?

If any kind monk can put me straight I'd be most grateful, and doubly glad because then I could update the wretched index. The bit of the script that (I think) is breaking down is 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use lib '/home/httpd/lib';
use CGI qw/:standard :cgi-lib/;
use LWP::Simple;

my $text = get 'http://www.perlmonks.net/index.pl?node_id=110166';

my %names = (George_Sherston => 110166);

while ($text =~ s#<a HREF="/index\.pl\?node_id=(\d+)">.+?</a><BR> by <
+a HREF="/index\.pl\?node_id=(\d+)">(.+?)</a> on \w{3} \d{1,2}, \d{4} 
+at# #) {
    unless (defined $names{$3}) {
        $names{$3} = $1;
    }
}

Many thanks - it's lovely to be back in the hallowed halls.
