in reply to Where is LWP::Simple::get error information stored?

Sadly it isn't stored anywhere, even LWP::UserAgent itself doesn't store that stuff, it forces you to store it

WWW::Mechanize on the other hand stores the responses so you don't have to, it even (optionally, by default ) throws exceptions

    LWP::UserAgent doesn't?

    use LWP::UserAgent;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->env_proxy;

my $response = $ua->get('http://example.org/');

print "HTTP response code was: ", $response->status_line, "\n";

#print "Content was:\n", $response->content, "\n";

    HTTP response code was: 200 OK
HTTP response code was: 404 Not Found
HTTP response code was: 500 Can't connect to 127.0.0.1:80 (Invalid arg

      Of course it doesn't, it forces you to store it

      my $response = $ua->get('http://example.org/');

        Oh, and it forces you to store the content, too? How inconvenient!
