Error: Can't locate object method "host" via package "URI::

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

Hi all,
I have a script which was working fine until I started getting the following error -

[Sat Sep 11 22:56:17 2004] script.cgi: Can't locate object method "hos
+t" via package "URI::_generic" (perhaps you forgot to load "URI::_gen
+eric"?) at C:/Perl/site/lib/HTTP/Cookies.pm line 725.
[download]

I havent changed my code so perhaps the problem is elsewhere. Anyway, perhaps one of you guys have seen this before
Cheers,
Barry

This usually happens when you pass around malformed URLs, ie one where the `http://` prefix is missing or messed up. Dave.	[reply] [d/l]
