Thanks for the reply.

Now Ive been looking for info on sockets, and I cant seem to find any good tuitorials. The books I have dont provide a whole lot of info and all the examples I find use LWP. Can someone point me towards a simple script that will allow me to fetch a webpage? Cgi-resources doesnt have any.

Thanks

Well, for LWP to work correctly you need to compile it in telnet. You can usually do this using the CPAN module, that will download all the files needed to your computer.

I seriously doubt that your host will let you do this... A lot of server admins are paranoid about LWP being a "security" hazord.

You could use sockets instead.
