I'm working on a similer project and I get no errors
on this, I'm not sure why its not working for you.
I've formated the code a bit differtly, but nothing
has changed really. 


#!/usr/bin/perl -w 

#url_touch.pl program file 

use strict; 
use LWP::Simple; 

my $url = $ARGV[0];
my $url_head; 
my @list; 
foreach $url_head(head($url)) 
{ 
 $url_head = "Not Given" unless defined $url_head; 
 push( @list, $url_head);
} 
my ($content_type, $document_length, $modified_time, $expires, $server
+) = @list; 
print ">>$content_type<< ";
print ">>$document_length<< "; 
print ">>$modified_time<< "; 
print ">>$expires<< "; 
print ">>$server<<\n";

I do know that you have to use a fully qualifed URL for this to work

work.

www.webadept.net/index.html

won't work, I have to use the
http://www.webadept.net/index.html for it to work.
here is the command and output...

tigger$ perl url_touch.pl http://www.cjsportscards.com/index.html


>>text/html<< >>13168<< >>982047528<< >>Not Given<< >> ConcentricHost-Ashurbanipal/2.0 (XO(TM) Web Site Hosting)<<
