Re^2: Fetching Web Page and covert to text

I have modified my code based on the inputs given.

use strict;
use warnings;

use LWP::Simple;
use HTML::TreeBuilder;
use HTML::FormatText;

print "Opening the URL";
my $URL=get("http://www.yahoo.com/") || die "Couldn't fetch page";

my $Format=HTML::FormatText->new;
my $TreeBuilder=HTML::TreeBuilder->new;

$TreeBuilder->parse($URL);
my $Parsed=$Format->format($TreeBuilder);

open FILE_OUT , '>D:\Profiles\in2228c\Desktop\info.txt' || die "No suc
+h file";
print FILE_OUT "$Parsed";

close FILE_OUT;
exit;

But still I am getting the same error:
Couldn't fetch page at 780696.pl line 9.
Is there any other way of solving this problem?

The write-up on LWP::Simple::get says: You will not be able to examine the response code or response headers (like 'Content-Type') when you are accessing the web using this function. If you need that information you should use the full OO interface (see LWP::UserAgent). So if I was you, I'd follow that suggestion.	[reply]
