Hi, I'm trying to use WWW::Curl for the first time, and I'm getting a "No URL Set" error even though the code looks OK. Here's the very basic code I've got this down to: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# Test script for Perl extension Curl::easy.
# Check out the file README for more info.
use CGI::Carp qw( fatalsToBrowser );
use WWW::Curl;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
my $url = 'http://www.google.com';

print "Testing curl version ",WWW::Curl::Easy::version(),"\n";

my $curl= new WWW::Curl::Easy;
$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_URL, $url);
if ($curl->perform() != 0) {
    print "\n
Failed ::".$curl->errbuf."\n";
};
It generates the "No URL set" error. I've googled lots, and can't find anything substantial about this message. Can anyone help? Any advice would be greatly, greatly appreciated, Regards Andy
