Hello,

I just tried to run some perl code that uses LWP and this is the error I got:

syntax error at /home/its/otisg/lib/perl5/site_perl/HTTP/Status.pm line 140,
near "sub status_message ("
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/home/its/otisg/lib/perl5/site_perl/LWP/Simple.pm line 138.

looking at Simple.pm this is around lines 138-140...

=cut		# this is line 138

sub status_message ($)
{
    return undef unless exists $StatusCode{$_[0]};
    $StatusCode{$_[0]};
}

=head2 is_info($code)



Does anyone know what's going on ?

Thanks,

Otis
