Hi David.
The code string you're specifying is a command-prompt string, not a Perl
one, so the dollars don't need escaping. It's also easier to use single
quotes within the code if you can, or qq() if you need interpolation.
Try these:
perl -e "use LWP::Simple;getprint('http://www.cpan.org')"
perl -e "use LWP::Simple; my $out=get(qq(http://www.cpan.org)); print $out"
HTH,
