Hello John, Well all the examples cause the problem from the example.pod file. Here is the shortest one, written by Randal himself. I was running this code to test the module out and that is when I ran into the problem. In other words, I have not even gotten to my own code yet. I have also been unsuccesfull in getting the latest version of this module to install which is why I went to the prior version.

use strict; 
$|++;
 
use WWW::Mechanize;
use File::Basename; 
  
my $m = WWW::Mechanize->new;
 
$m->get("http://www.despair.com/indem.html");
 
my @top_links = @{$m->links};
  
for my $top_link_num (0..$#top_links) {
next unless $top_links[$top_link_num][0] =~ /^http:/; 
 
$m->follow($top_link_num) or die "can't follow $top_link_num";
 
print $m->uri, "\n";
for my $image (grep m{^http://store4}, map $_->[0], @{$m->links}) { 
    my $local = basename $image;
    print " $image...", $m->mirror($image, $local)->message, "\n"
}
 
$m->back or die "can't go back";
}

This is the very line that causes it:
my $m = WWW::Mechanize->new;

Well any help is always appreciated. Thank you very much!

Akira

• 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.
