You misunderstand. You are retrieving the page. It's just that no javascript is executed by LWP::UserAgent. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]

Since you do not tell us what those past pages looked like (in terms of Javascript), how could we possibly tell you what has changed? We can guess -- perhaps those pages you speak of did not use Javascript for navigational purposes. You could try the Javascript CPAN module. I used this successfully several years ago to decrypt an encrypted web page, but something tells me you might need to parse out the href locations yourself and feed those back to LWP. jeffa L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L-- -R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B-- H---H---H---H---H---H--- (the triplet paradiddle with high-hat)	[reply]

Since JavaScript doesn't include a Browser Object Model, pages that rely on browser objects (window, document, history, etc.) don't work with it, so your script doesn't really demonstrate a solution using that module with LWP::UserAgent to handle pages with JavaScript.	[reply]
