Re^2: Problem retrieving data using WWW::Curl

have run it form command line! firts gave error about

$ip_date = (strftime("%Y%m", localtime(time)))."01";
[download]

Undefined subroutine &main::strftime called at geo_db.pl line 2.

commented this part out then it came accross your remark
$curl= WWW::Curl::easy->new()

Can't locate object method "new" via package "WWW::Curl::easy" (perhaps you forgot to load "WWW::Curl::easy"?) at geo_db.pl line 14.

changed itas you recommened but now it still gives this error:

Can't locate object method "setopt" via package "WWW::Curl::easy" (perhaps you forgot to load "WWW::Curl::easy"?) at geo_db.pl line 15.

don't realy understand what it means by this? thanx for the feedback!

Undefined subroutine &main::strftime called at geo_db.pl line 2. Can't locate object method "new" via package "WWW::Curl::easy" (perhaps you forgot to load "WWW::Curl::easy"?) at geo_db.pl line 14. Both these errors are consequences of the same basic fact: you are using functions from modules that are not loaded. Before you use functions from a module, you need to explain perl that you will be using these modules. Perl being what it is, that means you just need to tell it so: `#!/usr/bin/perl -w use Posix; # strftime() lives here use WWW::Curl::easy; # WWW::Curl::easy::new() lives here` [download] Judging from these questions, you might benefit from reading a good book on learning Perl. Again, Perl being what it is, there is actually a good book called Learning Perl, which I can recommend heartily. CU Robartes-	[reply] [d/l]

Can't locate Posix.pm in @INC is this a path problem? Erm, no... that's me forgetting the correct case. Try this instead: `use POSIX;` [download] CU Robartes-	[reply] [d/l]
