I concur with choroba that it's odd. I see no difference under Perl 5.22 ActiveState (or 5.20):

This is perl 5, version 22, subversion 1 (v5.22.1) built for MSWin32-x
+86-multi-t
hread-64int
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)

But get an unhandled exception under 64-bit ActiveState 5.22 and 5.24:

This is perl 5, version 22, subversion 1 (v5.22.1) built for MSWin32-x
+64-multi-t

and it happens for this reduced example:

#! /usr/bin/perl

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

open my $inf, "<", "temp.txt" or die; #This line no longer generates a
+ warning.

while (<$inf>) {
#while (<DATA>) {
    my $html = getprint("https://clio.columbia.edu/catalog?q=How%20to%

}

exit;

Given that I'm seeing something slightly different, can you verify you still see the issue for this posted code? Otherwise, can you edit your code down at all and still see bad behavior?

#11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?' Then have the computer do it the same way.

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.
