in reply to Problem retrieving data using WWW::Curl
Given that in your script, you use:
$curl= WWW::Curl::easy->new() or die "curl init failed!\n";and that you do not use WWW::Curl::easy, chances are that your script bombed out at that line. Check your web server's error log to see the messages from the script.
Also, if this is supposed to be a CGI script, perhaps you should consider outputting valid HTML -- CGI is a good place to start with this.
