Why can't I fetch http://www.google.com with Perl's LWP::Simple?

code below can be used to open the source page in windows,

but why in linux (slackware) I could not??

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
use LWP::Simple;
$URL = get("http://google.com");
print $URL;

Answer 1

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::Simple;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print get('http://google.com');

Changes:

• Always(!) use strict and warnings.
• Move use statements to start of script.
• Eliminate use of $URL – you’ll get a warning if the get() call fails even without it.
