in thread Any idea why LWP:Simple doesn't like this particular website?
As long as you've got -w and diagnostics you might as
well use strict and put them to good use. Also declare
your variables with my so typos will be apparent. When
that is done the only error left is this enigmatic line:
die "$!";
which should just be
exit so it won't try to print the
empty $doc and get that nasty uninitialized value warning.
Try this:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict; # added
use diagnostics;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use LWP::Simple;
my$doc;
my$theURL = 'http://www.theredkitchen.net/';
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "The script has successfully started up.\n\n<BR><BR>";
unless($doc=get($theURL)){
print "can't get the URL";
exit; # added
}
print $doc;
exit;
This code is tested and works. If it doesn't work for you
the problem may lie elsewhere...
