Hello Perl Monks

okay so i have this problem with using the LWP library.

I have jsut sttarted learning how to use it so im using this very simple program that gets the page of the given url

#!usr/bin/perl

use LWP::Simple;

getprint($ARGV[0]);

exit;

[download]

when i run this program it seems to get stuck in an infinite loop. when i ran it using the debugger this was the final error that i got when i just skipped running throught the modules 
IO::Socket::connect(/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/IO/So
+cket.pm:121):
121:                    $err = $! || (exists &Errno::ETIMEDOUT ? &Errn
+o::ETIMEDOUT : 1);

so i ran thro the debugger line by line and as suspected it gets stuck in an infinite loop. the following are the lines of code that kept repeating as given by the debugger
im sorry if im being a little too descriptive. just that i really didnt understand whats going on so i jus copied the lines from the terminal
HTTP::Headers::CODE(0x82e8db0)(/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/HTTP/Hea
+ders.pm:59):
59:         for (@header_order) {
  DB<8>

HTTP::Headers::CODE(0x82e8db0)(/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/HTTP/Hea
+ders.pm:60):
60:             my $lc = lc $_;
  DB<8> s

HTTP::Headers::CODE(0x82e8db0)(/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/HTTP/Hea
+ders.pm:61):
61:             $header_order{$lc} = ++$i;
  DB<8> s

HTTP::Headers::CODE(0x82e8db0)(/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/HTTP/Hea
+ders.pm:62):
62:             $standard_case{$lc} = $_;
  DB<8> s

these are the four lines that keep repeating in the debugger. im not able to go beyond this
