Here's an odd thing: require 'URI::URL.pm'; does not work, saying that the file could not be found in @INC, but use 'URI::URL'; does work. The URI folder is in the standard place, @INC is correct, and so on. Maybe the colons are being mistaken for file separators? This first went wrong in the middle of XML::Parser, but it behaves exactly the same way all by itself.
