in thread Odd LWP Problem

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:

    Just picking nits, because, you know, Perl does:

    The updated code you posted does fail for me also, but works when I add the closing quote in the getprint()call:

    my $html = getprint("https://clio.columbia.edu/") or die; ^

    Any chance the "still doesn't work" could be a different error this time, and maybe, expecting failure, you didn't check the error message as closely?

    I know, it's a long shot, but, you know, pick all the nits, right?

    It looks like there may be an open ticket on this issue:

    https://github.com/libwww-perl/libwww-perl/issues/244

    Reading what's posted, my gut says they are unrelated, but who knows. Regardless, I would say you probably have enough to give the dev a good bug report.

    With regard to getting your work done, I agree that the dumb DATA block solution is the right one.


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