Yes. It took a bit to set in.

I also made a few mistakes in my code I had to correct. One of them was `use LWP::Protocol::https` instead of `use LWP::Protocol qw ( https )`. I also learned the correct syntax for the User Agent, and the data dumper to get a good error message. Oh, and the obvious, stay away from Foss Hub or make a system call to curl if I can't. I also changed the return status from a reference pointer to the return statement.

I did post back the final code last night, but it doesn't seem to have migrated. It may be here somewhere. I do have a lot of trouble navigating this forum. If anyone wants to see the final test code and can't find it here, it is also over at http://vpaste.net/rUwvk

I appreciate all the help. Sorry it took so long to set in.
