in reply to Re: Ancient LWP and proxies in thread Ancient LWP and proxies
Thanks for all of the replies. It turned out that the latest version of LWP installed without a whole lot of effort. I only had to remove the "require 5.005" line from the Makefile.PL and comment out the live testing (since I can only access by proxy on that machine, and the live testing tries to open a socket to www.google.com, which takes an awful long time to time out, for one reason or another -- more than the 10 in the source, I think). After getting a few more prerequisite modules (and deciding not to mess with my working libnet to get FTP to work in LWP), all the brilliant (ha!) scripts I had prepared worked just fine.
