Re: [perl-win32-gui] Slashdot headline grabber

[gray_s]

Thanks for the pointer. I didn't know about perlmonks.org. Looks great, I'll have to register... I tried the LWP example, and am getting: Protocol scheme: 'http://www.slashdot.org/slashdot.xml' is not supported along with a 501. I tried this with a couple of different URLs and got the same result. I confirmed that I can access these addresses via Netscape. Is it the proxy problem, or... ?

Dump all the socket code and use LWP. If you need an example, look here:

There is a nice piece of code in one of the replies detailing how to adapt my
program for use with a  proxy.

It's actually a lot easier to use LWP; I just didn't like the 200K extra
it added to my compiled app.
