OK, so it looks like your object isn't getting created -- after the 'new', it's still undefined. Do you have WWW::Search::Yahoo installed? How about WWW::SearchResult?	[reply]

When you say "x my $oResult" it means to create a NEW variable, local to just that one debugging command, and display its value, which is of course undefined. If you just say "x $oResult" it will display the correct value. Incidentally, I just ran your program under perl 5.8.8 on a Linux box, installing WWW::Search::AltaVista (and Yahoo as well) from CPAN. It works fine for me. You might have run into a Windows (or ActivePerl) compatibility issue. Sometimes it helps to use the version of Perl that runs under Cygwin .	[reply]
