Hi Monks -- Actually I am getting a segmentation fault after sending a request to a web page using LWP::UserAgent. By the way it does not matter which web page (internal or external). I have been using the same code on Linux and Windows (Win32) platforms for quite some time without any problems. It seems not to be a hardware problem, at least RAM and hard disk have been tested OK. But I cannot rule out an environmental problem (Windows update or other software recently installed). I uninstalled Activestate Perl which I originally used and replaced it by its newest version (5.10) with no positive effect. I unistalled Activestate Perl again and installed Strawberry Perl (5.10). Perl itself works fine but I am unable to install any module from CPAN using Strawberry's CPAN shell because LWP is being used there. Has anyone an idea where to look next or (even better) where the problem could come from? Regards TheloniusM
