I am using Randal's form ripper script
(http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/WebTechniques/col43.html )
to pull some data from GoogleAds then extract data from the HTML using HTML::TableExtract.
I am NOT an expert in LWP, but I've used Randal's script successfully elsewhere.
Now I am befuddled.
I think I am running into problems as the page uses HTTPS vs. HTTP.
Here's the error I'm encountering:

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\google\GoogleTools>perl gt_refresh.pl
Can't locate object method "method" via package "HTTP::Headers" (perha
+ps you for got to load "HTTP::Headers"?) at C:/Perl/site/lib/HTTP/Mes
+sage.pm line 189.

And here's my code:

package GoogleCampaignData;
use HTML::TableExtract;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use strict;

sub new {
    my ($class, $campid) = @_;
    my $self = {};
    _init($self, $campid);
    bless($self, $class);
    return $self;
}

sub _init {
    my ($self, $campid) = @_;
    my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
    $ua->env_proxy;
    my $req = 
    $ua->request(POST "https://adwords.google.com/reports/ads", 
             [
              # "seshid" => "XXXXXX", # hidden
              "campaign" => $campid,
              "when" => "campaignlife", # campaign to date
              "mode" => "keywords", # by keyword URL -- this is critic

              "submit2" => "Generate Report" # do it
              ],
             Referer => "http://ads.google.com/reports/ads?username=XX
+XX&password=XXXX",
             );
    my $content = $ua->request($req)->as_string;
    die $content;  # FOR DEBUGGING -- SHOW WE GOT SOMETHING
}

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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.
