I got this webpage at http://kickasscable.hypermart.net/searchplanet.cgi and when I load it in IE 5.5, i get the following error: The Callee (server[not server application]) is not available and disappeared; all connections are invalid. The call did not execute. It comes up as if it were a...

I think the problem with that is that i dont have access to the command line. Im trying to run the script by entering its URL in a browser... And I dont know where system() prints its output to, whether it would only be visible on the command line or if it would print to a web page. But then...

I tried to locate the code in the lwp modules that actually retrieves the response from the server.. and see what makes it shut down too early... but it seemed to be very layered and hard to pin down. Any ideas???

when i run that code.... nothing happens. This is on a Unix machine. It seems i can put anything between the quotes as a parameter and nothing happens. When I try to print system(...); it returns 65280 usually but 512 when i put some crazy stuff in there.

Is there a way that a perl script can download a file from a remote URL to a local directory? Like say, how can I copy "http://www.blah.com/file.txt" to the local "file.txt"?

Hey, I dont really know, but wouldnt that number be in millisecs? and 15-50 millisecs is way too short to wait for a ping... try like 1000. If it were really 15 secs you were waiting, then it should take 15 secs for the script to print "server is down"
