Greetings honorable Monks. I am submitting some information directly from one Perl program located on a local client to another Perl program located on a web server. I need to verify that this information was successfully passed to the Perl program located on a web server. The code works and submits information successfully to the web server, but I have been unable to verify this from the client side program. Example snippet of the functioning code: 
use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
use URI::URL;

my $url=url('http://www.webaddress.com/cgi-bin/XXX.pl');
      $url->query_form(
          name => $name,
          address => $address,
          email => $email,
          reading => $reading,      
          );
      get($url);

This submits the information and everything works fine on the web server the way that it should. Now, the LWP::Simple docs say that the get() function returns undef if it fails. I have been unable to find a combination of code that works. Among them, after the above snippet: 
if (!defined (get($url))){ print"Failed: $^E\n}

Does not work. I am sure that this is simple, however, this is my first voyage into the land of libwww-perl. Please and thank you!
