Assuming you are on Win32, the whenever print `$!` reports `Unknown error`, printing `$^E` may give you so called "extended error information", ie. the actual win32 error text rather than perl's half hearted attempt to convert every system error to one of the 3 (or is it 5?) catch all POSIX error codes. In this case, (I'm guessing as your error messages to do not show the line numbersfrom which they originate), that if you added it to the following: `my $res = $ua->request($req) \|\| die $!, $^E;` [download] You might get more information about whatthe problem is.

I was just explaining how and why you would use `$^E` since anonymonk was being so terse. I assumed there was some basis for his assuming you were on windows. Sorry.
