in thread Is LWP::Simple's get function caching pages?

No, force-reloading the page probably sent along extra headers to the webserver, telling it to reread the file.

Now, if you can figure out what those headers are, you can duplicate that behaviour with LWP, though you're probably will have to use something slightly more powerful (= lower level) than LWP::Simple.

    I thought about requesting the file twice, which might look to the server as if I were reloading the file. The problem resolved magically, though (maybe because it's daytime now and more people are accessing the page) and I'll just leave it with that for now (I'll see whether the problem reappears tonight).
    Thanks for your responses.
