POE module error

rkg has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Experimenting with POE for the first time, I tried the web page fetcher example from the poe cookbook. This is on a win xp box. While the example runs, it also prints an error

 
Can't locate object method "host" via package "URI::_foreign" at E:/ap
+ps/perl/site/lib/POE /Component/Client/HTTP.pm line 280.
[download]

How do I remedy this error? I'm not sure what module(s) I need to install, update, or use. Thanks

As far as I followed the URI implementation, `URI::_foreign` is the used implementation-type, if there's no 'scheme' part (like http, https, ftp, ...). URI::_foreign does indeed not implement a `host` method, onle URI::_server does. This error occurs as `...Client::HTTP` tries to get host, port and scheme from the request-uri. Assuming that POE::Component::Client::HTTP is working, I'd say you can't remedy this error by updating any module, the error is either in the webpage, providing wrong URLs, or in the crawler, instantiating the client in the wrong way... just my $0.02... regards, tomte Hlade's Law: If you have a difficult task, give it to a lazy person -- they will find an easier way to do it.

Consider posting your question to poe@perl.org, and including your code verbatim -- just in the the event that you (innocently) deviated from the original code.	[reply]
