Re: [MacPerl] Will webget work in MacPerl.

[pudge@pobox.com (Chris Nandor)]

Don't use webget.  It is old code, and can be done much more easily with
modules that come with MacPerl.

What do you need to do, fetch a web page?

  #!perl -w
  use LWP::Simple;
  $x = get('http://www.ptf.com/macperl/');
  print $x;

FYI, the problem with webget (particularly, network.pl) is that it calls
out to the Unix shell to run nslookup, ifconfig, and other things that Macs
don't have (on a shell, anyway).  But the above code works out of the box
on current versions of MacPerl.

Hope this helps,
