Problem using LWP::UserAgent

[Gaurav]

Hello,

I have a perl script which fetches data from yahoo finance. I last
used it in Jan 2003 i guess. Now if i try to use it i get an error
message.

This is the error message i get if i try to run my script using a
makefile

Can't locate LWP/UserAgent.pm in @INC (@INC contains:

#creating an instance of Web module
$web = Web->new;

You don't create instances of modules, you create instances of _objects_.

Can someone tell me why my script is not running anymore ?

Because Perl cannot find the LWP::UserAgent module.

Is it under any of the @INC directories that were listed?

Is it installed? If so, where? (ask your sysadmin)
