This basically is the LWP tutorial on CPAN...
What's wrong with my system?

Thanks!

What does

/home/gnu/bin/perl -MLWP -e 'print $LWP::VERSION'

say? If it does not print out the version number, then this
Perl (there could be many Perl installations on your system)
does not know about LWP.

The command gives out correct version number:

5.69

Also I tried another command:

perl -le 'use LWP; print join "\n", grep /LWP/, keys %INC;'

and it gives out:

LWP.pm
LWP/MemberMixin.pm
LWP/UserAgent.pm
LWP/Protocol.pm
LWP/Debug.pm

Thanks.

Sincerely
Pine
