i'm confused.  i don't have XP and cannot see how this can work.  is GET a
shell function or am i missing something simple here?  that said, if you are
trying to get stuff off the web best to use the LWP modules, say LWP::Simple
eg.

<eg>
use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::Simple;

getprint("http://www.perl.com/";);
</eg>
