LWP::Simple::get use a different implementation by default. You force it to use the full LWP by importing $ua variable from LWP::Simple. The getprint() function always use the full LWP. I don't see a problem here when executing your example code on Windows XP. It would be helpful if you could try to run the hanging code under the debugger to figure out what happens. Regards, Gisle
