In other words, you wasted your time installing LWP 5.17, since there's an
LWP already in MacPerl's lib.  You need to reverse the order, or MacPerl
will continue to use LWP 5.13.  But that shouldn't cause you any memory
problems, since 5.13 worked just fine.

} I tried the following script (and a few others)
}
} #!/usr/local/bin/perl
} use LWP::Simple;
} $doc = get 'http://www.dwelle.de/nrdeu.htm';

Using a slightly different script so I can see what happens:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use LWP::Simple;
getprint 'http://www.dwelle.de/nrdeu.htm';

I get a "404 not found".  But no memory problems.

} All resulted in the error message "Out of Memory",

} I've bumped up the preferred memory allocation for

Which MacPerl, which System, 68k or PPC?
