It works fine now. Thanks a lot!

I moved on to try if LWPng can do https as well using a https URL($url =
"https://www.nodeworks.com") in the code below and got the following error
message:

590 No handler for 'https' scheme

I am sure that my system is set up properly to do https because the original
lwp-request from libwww works fine with a https URL.  The problem seems to
be with LWPng.  Can LWPng do https?  If not, what must one do to make it do
so?

Thank you for the attention.

Regards,
Joo Geok
