in thread RobotUA not working

Wow PN5 it prints HTML now, thanks alot! Is there any particular reason why i cant set my delay so that i requests faster than a minute. i have it set for 10 seconds 
$ua->delay(10/60)

[download]
but it still takes a minute to print. Also when i try to parse content using HTML::Parser it gives me this 
HTML::Parser=HASH(0x826f6b4)

[download]
i tried putting ->parse at the end of the code like this 
$p->parse($content)->parse;

[download]
and leaving the second parse off, but i still get the Hash(.....). I looked at CPAN's docs, but they all seem to say that i am using it correctly.
Thanks

    I'm glad it's working.

    Regarding the delay, the reason is simply etiquette; the same applies to honouring the requests in the robots.txt file.

    I'm detecting either a misunderstanding or a lack of knowledge regarding the way Perl represents object references. This may help: 

    my $q = CGI->new;
print $q;
# outputs
CGI=HASH(0xhhhhhhh)

my $fh = IO::File->new;
print $fh;
# outputs
IO::File=GLOB(0xhhhhhhh)

# Format is:
# <module-name>=<blessed-reference-type>(0x<hex-memory-location>)

    Most HTML::Parser methods return an HTML::Parser object. This is what you are outputting. You'll need to supply code in order for me to supply more information :-)

    I haven't used this module previously so I wrote a test script to see what's going on. I've posted it after the 'Read more ...', hopefully you'll find something useful there.

    The HTML::Parser documentation includes about half-a-dozen example (working) scripts.
