As for LWP, I presently have version 5.814

I've tried upgrading using cpan, but since its already a network issue I'm troubleshooting, I get stuck ... it says I have the latest version, probably because it couldn't connect

Which perl version?

Thansk again My perl version is ActivePerl 5.10.0 As for the variables, I do have them defined with the http prefix. I'm trying to upgrade the library using the link from CPAN. But there seem to be some problems with nmake. Is there any other way to incorporate the new libraries?	[reply]

I'm trying to upgrade the library using the link from CPAN. But there seem to be some problems with nmake. What problems? `perl -V:make` Is there any other way to incorporate the new libraries?
