Package: libanydata-perl
Version: 0.10-7
Severity: important

When using AnyData with an XML data source over HTTP, the library fails to show 
any data. Using the exact same XML data from a local file source works as 
documented.

I have tested this with both AnyData directly, and via DBD::AnyData, and 
neither 
interface returns data from HTTP.

I added some debug output and tried to trace down what the problem was - I 
believe the point of failure is in AnyData::Format::XML, where it calls 
get_data 
but falls out from the line:
   my $fh_or_str  = shift  || return;

This is around line 684 of my AnyData/Format/XML.pm.

If I remove the "|| return", then it works (as the code then checks for a URL, 
and continues).

I've tried mailing the upstream author of the Perl package (Jeff Zucker 
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) but have had no response, nor has there been any further 
updates to the Perl package.
