Re^3: Why would LWP::Simple::get stop working?

Why "alas"? I indicated you might have started noticing the problem because of a change in that value, but you don't demonstrate a lack of change.

What you did show is that you end up in LWP::Simple's _trivial_http_get method. (Usually, LWP calls end up LWP::UserAgent.) You could try adding debug statements to it. It could be that you end up in an endless redirection loop that LWP::UserAgent somehow avoids.

btw, no problems here:

>perl -le "print scalar grep {/http/i} keys %ENV"
0

>perl -le "use LWP (); print $LWP::VERSION"
5.64

>perl script.pl

Alas, because I never have them set, so any values there would have represented a change. Sorry, in retrospect I didn't clearly state that I don't use any proxy here. So, zero keys meant to me that no proxy changes had bee instituted on my machine.	[reply]

The problem can nonetheless be found in the differences between LWP::Simple's _trivial_http_get and LWP::UserAgent. You'll probably discover something user if you print the URLs being requested and the status code in which they result..	[reply]
