Net::NNTP Undefined value

[Gene Mat]

Hi, I'm trying to build a simple program to list all the newsgroups in the
server. However, I can't get this program to run, here's what I have.

#!/opt/local/bin/perl
use Net::NNTP;
$nntp = Net::NNTP->new("nntp.perl.org",Debug,10);
my $LIST=nntp->list;
$nntp->quit;

Can't call method "list" on an undefined value at ./getnntp.pl line 13.

Other methods of the Net::NNTP work fine, including
article,group,xover,date,etc. Just the list, active and newsgroups methods
die with undefined value error.

Please Help.

Please Help.

Please ask a machine to help you *before* asking thousands of
people around the world to help you.

You should always enable warnings when developing Perl code.

Your right Tad. I've now become an instant fan of

use warnings;
use strict;

I'm new perl and Usenet, but I'll me more carefull when posting in the
future.

Thanks for everyones help,
