OK, I've cut out all of the code that does anything. The following, despite doing nothing with the value read from the file, still fails

#! /usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::Simple;

open INFIL, "temp.txt" or die;

while (<INFIL>) {
#while (<DATA>) {
    my $html = getprint("https://clio.columbia.edu/) or die;
}

exit;

__DATA__
How to conduct your own survey / Priscilla Salant and Don A. Dillman.

I have a workaround for now -- I dumped all 40,000+ lines to be processed in the DATA section. Still, it would be nice to figure out if this is user error (doubtful at this point), or, if it's a perl-related bug, get it fixed.

By the way, here's the perl -V for the cygwin perl:

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
