Hi, I have not used the LWP module before, so I may be missing
something (or even wrong suggestion) with my suggestion.  Have you try
sending the appropriate content type before your "print" statement.  I
suppose the content type you need is "text/plain".  Also, I do not
know whether the first line in your script is a typo or you miss it
out while typing this post: #!usr/bin/perl -w

Hope this helps.

Jimmy
