Hi, i have given below my code and the output. Please review it and provide your suggestion:

My CODE:
#!C:/Perl/bin/perl.exe
use LWP::Simple;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request;
use HTTP::Response;
use HTML::LinkExtor;
my $URL= "http://eonet.level3.com/";
$browser = LWP::UserAgent->new();
$browser->timeout(10);
my $request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $URL);
my $response = $browser->request($request);
if ($response->is_error()) {printf "%s\n", $response->status_line;}
$contents = $response->content();
#print $contents;
print $response->status_line(), "\n";
print $response->headers()->as_string();


Output when i run the program:

C:\Documents and Settings\g.venkatesan\Desktop>perl lwp_test.pl

    The server says
    WWW-Authenticate: NTLM

    to which LWP adds

    Client-Warning: Unsupported authentication scheme 'ntlm'

    Use LWP::Authen::Ntlm as I previously mentioned.

    It looks like it also supports the less secure Basic authentication. But since you need to provide the credentials using the credentials method either way, use the more secure ::Ntlm.

    PS - On PerlMonks, you'll save yourself trouble by placing computer text (code, data, output) in <c>...</c> tags. They handle line breaks and escaping of special characters for you.

      Hi,
      I included the module LWP::Authen::Ntlm in my code but i am getting an error "Can't locate Authen/NTLM.pm in @INC". But i checked that the file Ntlm.pm is present under LWP/Authen folder. Please advice
