HTTP::Request failure; HELP !!!!!!!!

[jeffchakwong]

I have a perl script that can create a virtual browser, send a URL request to an IBM central search server, receive search results, and put them into HTML for display. It's been working fine in the cgi-bin directory on my NT. But when it's moved to another NT box, the script failed at the <br>
statement <br>
&quot;$response = $ua-&gt;request($request);&quot;<br>
It seems the virtual browser is not sending<br>
requests nor receiving responses. PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!!!!!<br>
