Here's the code ... 

my $agent = new LWP::UserAgent;

my $define = new HTTP::Request;
   $define->method('get');
   $define->url($url);

my $website = $agent->request($define);
my $file = $website->content;

from there $file gets fed into a parser ... but to test dictionaries I just print $file."\n";

www.dictionary.com works fine ... $url="http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=".$word;

gives the html that can be parsed ...

but www.naver.com doesn't ... $url="http://dic.naver.com/search.naver?mode=all&query=".$word;

where $word="happy"; gives me this html ... 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>501 Method Not Implemented</TITLE>

<H1>Method Not Implemented</H1>

I tried 'post' and read thru the cpan docs for the module but can't grab webpages from the site ... which is annoying since the xml tags at naver make parsing alot easier ...
