Hi,
I've got a working perl script that talks to the Yahoo API through a rest interface. Works great. I put a CGI lib into it so I could pass it parameters, and now I get errors in my xml parsing.
use strict;
use XML::DOM;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
my $zipcode =  param( "zipcode" ) || "27613";
my $searchTerm =  param( "query" ) || "pizza";

[download]
Without the CGI code, and hardcoding the zip and searchterms, it works. When I add in the above, I get an error of:
Can't call method "getNodeValue" on an undefined value at /Library/Web
+Server/CGI-Executables/WebYahoo.pl line 54.
[Wed Apr 26 16:46:44 2006] [error] [client 24.106.190.114] Premature e
+nd of script headers: /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/WebYahoo.pl

And that line is the $addr of: 
        $title = $result->getElementsByTagName('Title')->item(0)->getF
+irstChild->getNodeValue;
        $addr = $result->getElementsByTagName('Address')->item(0)->get
+FirstChild->getNodeValue;
        $phone = $result->getElementsByTagName('Phone')->item(0)->getF
+irstChild->getNodeValue;

So any ideas why this would work fine, but when I add the CGI lib, that it errors out? Strangest thing.
thanks!
