So here the problem, been running perl for a week now. Learning. Cant seem to find answers to my recent WebCrawler compilation errors.

For the next code I get the following errors:

use strict; use IO::Socket; use local::lib; print("Welcome to my webcrawler, \n Please specify a url in the following format : www.xxx.y \n"); chomp(my $yourURL=<STDIN>); my $sock = new IO::Socket::INET ( PeerAddr => '$DSTaddress', PeerPort => '80', Proto => 'tcp', ); die "Could not create socket: $!\n" unless $sock; print (“TCP Connection Success. \n"); send($sock,"GET http:$yourURL HTTP/1.0\n\n",0); @response=<SOCKET>; print("@response");

Unrecognized character \x93 marked by <-- HERE after print <<-- near column 8 at C:Users\Users\Desktop\Crawlertst1.pl line 19

What would that error mean? Looked it up at google, seems go on about some encoding problems. A day ago there was no encoding bugs on compilation.
