This only addresses the second error. I already addressed the first error in an earlier post.

The second error means that http://pseweb.vmware.com/pending/194951021 returned status code 500, getstore is unable to fetch that resource, or some internal error occured in getstore. getstore doesn't provide much feedback, unfortunately. You could use LWP::UserAgent's request method instead of LWP::Simple's getstore and dump the response on error, but I suspect it's one of the following:

• The currect directory isn't what you think it is. It's probably /. Use absolute paths or chdir to the desired directory.
• LWP is unable to create the file because the user as which your script runs cannot write to the current directory. Adjust file permissions accordingly.
• CGI script can't do HTTP requests on your server. Adjust your server's security settings and/or the settings of the proxy/firewall/router protecting in front of your server.

The first two problems can also be avoided by not using a file at all. If you don't actually need to store the file, just use get.

use LWP::Simple qw( get );
my $data = get($url);
open(IN, '<', \$data);
while (<IN>) {
