'Can't locate object method "status" via package "HTTP::Headers"' error using LWP::UserAgent

Cody Fendant has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm getting this error when trying to access a URL (https).

Can't locate object method "status" via package "HTTP::Headers" at /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.30/HTTP/Message.pm line 653.

LWP::UserAgent, HTTP::Headers and HTTP::Message are all up to date according to CPAN so I'm a bit baffled as to how to proceed.

Neither HTTP::Message or HTTP::Headers advertise a `status` method; the former delegates any method it doesn't know to the latter which is why you're getting an error. If you showed your code which is producing this error (or step back slightly further and describe what you're attempting to do) you might get more help. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie.

G'day Cody Fendant, As already indicated by ++Fletch, if you show your code we can give a better answer. However, as you mentioned that you'd checked LWP::UserAgent, perhaps you're after its `status_line` method. `$ perl -MLWP::UserAgent -E ' say LWP::UserAgent::->new()->get("http://example.com")->status_lin +e ' 200 OK` [download] And, of course, do bear in mind that's a complete guess. — Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Are you sure that status method not be called on a ~~request~~response object instead?	[reply]

On another guess, if you are looking for the HTTP status code, you want the `->code` method on HTTP::Response.	[reply] [d/l]
