hi, i am just a perl beginner. I need to comapre two folders(directories) having xml files and show up the difference, I unable to do that. When I run the below code i get error saying: LWP Request Failed at C:/Perl/site/lib/XML/SAX/PurePerl/Reader/URI.pm

Below is the code: 
use XML::Simple;
use XML::SemanticDiff;
  
$xml1 = new XML::Simple;
$xml2 = new XML::Simple;
  
  
$dirtoget1="folder1";
$dirtoget2="folder2";
  
 opendir(IMD1, $dirtoget1) || die("Cannot open directory");
 opendir(IMD2, $dirtoget2) || die("Cannot open directory");
  

  
  while( ($filename1 = readdir(IMD1)) && ($filename2 =                
+readdir(IMD2)))
         {
           
             $file  =$xml1->XMLin("$filename1");
             $file2 =$xml2->XMLin("$filename2");
             
             my $diff = XML::SemanticDiff->new();


             foreach my $change ($diff->compare($filename1, $filename2
+)) {
                        print "$change->{message} in context $change->
+{context}\n";
                     }

                            # or, if you want line numbers:

             my $diff = XML::SemanticDiff->new(keeplinenums => 1);

             foreach my $change ($diff->compare($file, $file2)) {
                        print "$change->{message} (between lines $chan
+ge->{startline} and $change->{endline})\n";
                     }
             print("$filename1\n");
             print("$filename2\n");
             print("\n \n \n \n");
         
         }
  closedir(IMD1);
  closedir(IMD2);
