I guess I am working on too many things at a time. I forgot what I did yesterday. I had a simple test script which might spot the problem. require LWP::UserAgent; $ua = new LWP::UserAgent; $request = new HTTP::Request( 'GET', 'file:///Macintosh%20HD/a' ); $response = $ua->request($request, 'tmp'); print $response->as_string(), "\n"; This crashes MacPerl (and eventually the OS) although there is file ' a' on 'Macintosh HD.'
