When I run the perl script you gave me I get the message /etc/perl/XML/Simple.pm the first 20 lines of the file are as follows `package LWP::Simple; use strict; use vars qw($ua %loop_check $FULL_LWP @EXPORT @EXPORT_OK $VERSION); require Exporter; @EXPORT = qw(get head getprint getstore mirror); @EXPORT_OK = qw($ua); # I really hate this. I was a bad idea to do it in the first place. # Wonder how to get rid of it??? (It even makes LWP::Simple 7% slower # for trivial tests) use HTTP::Status; push(@EXPORT, @HTTP::Status::EXPORT); $VERSION = "5.810"; $FULL_LWP++ if grep {lc($_) eq "http_proxy"} keys %ENV;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Well, thats obviously wrong. XML::Simple is not LWP::Simple. I don't know how you got that result, but see A Guide to Installing Modules, download http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/G/GR/GRANTM/XML-Simple-2.18.tar.gz, tar -zxvf XML-Simple-2.18.tar.gz, cd XML-Simple-2.18, perl Makefile.PL, make test, make install	[reply]

I'm unable to remove the package LWP::Simple. however I was able to install the one you gave me, like I have tried to install XML::Simple many different times before and came up with the same error. When I pull up `perl -MCPAN -e shell` and type in "r" to pull the list of all installed modules I can't find the LWP or the XML::Simple anywhere in the list after it was installed. So, I'm half temppted to just reinstall my OS as a whole and start fresh since I can't seem to find where it keeps pointing to this file or how it was even created. When I do a `locate Simple.pm` I come up with this `/etc/perl/Simple.pm /etc/perl/XML/Simple.pm /root/.cpan/build/XML-Simple-2.18-6AUYLc/lib/XML/Simple.pm /root/XML-Simple-2.18/blib/lib/XML/Simple.pm /root/XML-Simple-2.18/lib/XML/Simple.pm /usr/share/perl/5.10.0/Filter/Simple.pm /usr/share/perl/5.10.0/Locale/Maketext/Simple.pm /usr/share/perl/5.10.0/Log/Message/Simple.pm /usr/share/perl/5.10.0/Pod/Simple.pm /usr/share/perl/5.10.0/Test/Simple.pm /usr/share/perl5/LWP/Simple.pm /usr/share/perl5/XML/Simple.pm` [download] I've checked all the files and the only one that's different is in the /usr/share/perl5/XML/Simple.pm	[reply] [d/l] [select]
