as for the prob i got it working, all it needed was ;
my $content = get $url;
changing to
my $content = get($url);
Really? I find that hard to believe:
Update: I stand corrected. Had not really understood what the issue was about, out of only reading superficially. Shame on me! Rest of post fundamentally irrelevant now.
$ perl -MLWP::Simple -e 'print get "http://blazar.perlmonk.org/"'

<h2>News</h2>
<p>I've always been half hearted about blogs. I still am. Well, ye
+ah sort
of. However I've started writing one, with a much irregular freque
+ncy, but
who cares? Of course, it <em>had</em> to have <code>perl</code> in the
domain name: in fact <a href="http://use.perl.org/~blazar/journal/">it
+'s at
use Perl</a>. And I'm writing more ore less anything that springs
+to mind.</p>
<h2>Old stuff</h2>
<p><small>(The following is all that was here before I added the secti

above. Not much, eh?)</small></p>
<p>No, there's nothing here yet. You'll find something more, b
+ut not too much,
<a href="http://mosquito.scumm.it/~blazar/">here</a>.</p>

and
$ perl -MO=Deparse,-p -MLWP::Simple -e 'print get "http://blazar.perlm
+onk.org/"'
use LWP::Simple;
print(get('http://blazar.perlmonk.org/'));
-e syntax OK
