For some reason, the function HTML::Form->Parse doesn't return any forms for me. For example, the following simple perl script: #! /usr/bin/perl use HTML::Form; use HTTP::Request; use LWP; my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent; my $uri="http://www.google.com";; my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $uri); my $res = $ua->request($req); print $res->content; my $form = HTML::Form->parse($res->content, $res->base()); print "Form: ${form}\n"; Returns the source of the www.google.com page but fails to return the obvious embedded form. If instead, I make the last line: join(" ", $form->form); I get the corresponding error message: "Can't call method "form" on an undefined value at ./myscript.pl line 14" which occurs presumably because no form is returned! I did not have any problems with this previously under RH8.0 with perl 5.8.0-88 and perl-libwww-perl-5.65-2.noarch.rpm) In fact, the above perl scripts still work when under Fedora Core 1 I 'chroot' to my old RH8.0 installation. It thus seems to be that something is wrong with the Fedora Core 1 perl environment Has anything changed in perl? Does this script fail similarly on other Fedora Core 1 systems? Any suggestions on what might be going on? Thanks, Jeff
