in reply to Help with HTML::TableExtract

The error indicates that $content is undef. Perhaps you need to configure LWP to use a proxy?

The following excerpt is from the lwpcook POD:

use LWP::UserAgent; $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; $ua->env_proxy; # initialize from environment variables # or $ua->proxy(ftp => 'http://proxy.myorg.com'); $ua->proxy(wais => 'http://proxy.myorg.com'); $ua->no_proxy(qw(no se fi)); my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'wais://xxx.com/'); print $ua->request($req)->as_string;
(Update: added excerpt from lwpcook)

May the Source be with you.

You said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake; well, this could be it, sweetheart.
