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

    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?)

      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..." :(
        I'm stumped, then. It must be something about your connection, not Perl. Some other monk may know...
