Thank you Mike for the answer.
I went ahead and made the change only to get an error further down the page. The code I displayed, was actually code from the WWW::Mechanize PM and was not written by me. It has been around a while and even Randall Schwartz (sp?! sorry if wrong) has included a demo in the example.pod file. I cannot help but feel there is something else missing and that this should compile.
For completeness the error I get later when making the changes suggested above is: C:\Perl Dev\Screen Scraper Test>perl despair.pl
Can't locate object method "get" via kage "WWW::Mechanize" (perhaps yo
+u forgot to load "WWW::Mechanize"?) at C:/Perl/site/lib/WWW/Mechanize
+.pm line 183.
Line 183 of the file is:
sub get {
my $self = shift;
my $uri = shift;
$uri = $self->{base}
? URI->new_abs( $uri, $self->{base} )
: URI->new( $uri );
return $self->SUPER::get( $uri, @_ );
}
The return $self line exactly.
Thank you for you help though. It is always appreciated.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
