Okay... the use of the $request hash variable was just an example. Yours should be $response->content, following your earlier example:
See the following example: ---example start--- #!/usr/local/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use LWP::UserAgent; my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; my $response = $ua->get( 'http://www.cnn.com/' ); if ( $response->is_success ) { print "Content:\n".$response->content."\n"; } else { print "Error:\n".$response->message."\n"; } ---example end--- You have to use the dot-concatenation or save the result of $module->function into a variable because it, in your case $response->content, isn't a variable. It is a function that returns a variable. Because of that perl just prints the memory address of the modules data structure in your memory if you try to let perl do the string substitution for you. /oliver/ BTW.: You might also just try to enter perldoc perl at your terminal prompt. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
