The code which does it is the following: my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent; my $request = HTTP::Request->new('GET', "http://bugs.debian.org/296747";); my $response = $ua->request($request); and requires a reasonably recent version of libhtml-parser-perl to be installed (say 3.45-1 will suffice). Note that this bug report is in charset=iso-8859-1 and has two adjacent high bit characters in the maintainer's name. Also, the page has some entities which are decoded (<), which triggers this warning. I don't have any obvious suggestions for how to fix this bug, though :( Julian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
