STUCK on www::mechanize ->get()

[smackdab]

Thanks again for the help

I tried your string 200 times w/o success and it works every time in the browser...Don't know what I could be doing wrong...

I don't think it is the lyrics web site as the first ->get() works, it is just the 2nd one that fails...

The link that failes in www:mechanize is:

http://display.lyrics.astraweb.com:2000/display.cgi?beatles..beatles_1..hey_jude

This URL works in my browser always...

Here is my complete test program incase someone else wants to give it a try ;-)

use WWW::Mechanize;
use URI::URL;
use strict;  use warnings;

my $artist = 'The Beatles';
my $title  = 'Hey Jude';

my $mech   = WWW::Mechanize->new(autocheck=>1);
#$mech->agent_alias('Windows IE 6');

my $search = join("+", split(/ /, $artist)) . "+" . join("+", split(/ 
+/, $title));
print "search=" .  "http://search.lyrics.astraweb.com/?word=$search" .
+ "\n";
$mech->get("http://search.lyrics.astraweb.com/?word=$search");
$mech->success() or die "Can't get the search page\n";
$mech->follow_link(text=>"Hey Jude");
#$mech->follow_link(n=>6);
$mech->success() or die "Can't find lyrics page\n";
