Well what in the world can be going wrong? Do you think I should re-install Perl? I have 5.8x.	[reply]

No, it works fine with Activestate Perl 5.8.0 for me. You have to be connected to the web, of course ;-) (I tried it disconnected, and got an "Invalid Argument" error, but I didn't imagine that was the problem you are having. Did you try "perl -c" on your script?) chas	[reply]

I am connected to the internet via a router:) And I did the -c and it says the syntax is OK. The error I get is "A socket operation attempted to an unreachable network..." :(	[reply]
