So after chiming in on the side discussion, I actually tried to figure out your problem. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce it, so I wonder if something else is at fault:

1) poerbook:~/projects/disorganized/support% perl perlmonks-poco-rssaggregator.perl
getting http://wfmu.org/listen.m3u?show=21788&archive=32709 ...
content: http://archive.wfmu.org:5555/archive/NU/nu070117.mp3

1) poerbook:~/projects/disorganized/support% cat perlmonks-poco-rssaggregator.perl
my $url = "http://wfmu.org/listen.m3u?show=21788&archive=32709";
use LWP::Simple;
print "getting $url ...\n";
my $content = LWP::Simple::get($url);
die "Problem!" unless defined $content;
print "content: $content\n";
use POE qw(Component::RSSAggregator);  # bad line
1) poerbook:~/projects/disorganized/support% perl -v
