tsarvind has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I used the LWP::Simple module for invoking an url. however upon running the script , i get an error stating "INVALID ARGUMENT" for the get(). I have used the function as get("http://www.perl.com"); and the argument is a proper string, however the default error of UNDEF does not appear but only INVALID ARGUMENT appears. Can somebody help me with the solution for this problem???

    I know the dependancies are a little tricky with LWP::Simple, but I've scoured the source for LWP::Simple, LWP, and LWP::UserAgent to find somewhere among the source of those modules where an error called "INVALID ARGUMENT" could be decreed. I also double checked perllexwarn and perldiag, just to see if it's a known perl error message. I don't find it in any of those places either.

    Hi tsarvind,

    I notice this is your first post (under this username anyway), welcome to Perl Monks!
    If you have not done so please have a look at the PerlMonks FAQ, and How do I post a question effectively?.
    As kulls pointed out, a listing of your code along with the description of your problem (which you have already provided) would make it easier for us to help.

    Hope this helps.
