Hmmm. I first thought, "you gotta be kidding me" but then I noticed
that you only use one colon (doublepoint) in the module names, and that
won't resolve in CPAN. The proper names of the modules are
HTML::LinkExtor and LWP::UserAgent (note '::'). CPAN likes that much
better:

http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/HTML-P...ML/LinkExtor.pm
http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/libwww...WP/UserAgent.pm

Me too! So what? How 'bout putting the subject of your post in the
Subject?!?

i m not new to perl.

No such things as HTML:linkextor or LWP:useragent. But perhaps you
want to read

perldoc HTML::LinkExtor
perldoc LWP::UserAgent

>where i can start.


From the above. Of course some basic introductory book about Perl
would be quite useful as well.

Hope so.

And also wrong capitalization, BTW.

Are you new to English as well? How 'bout some proper capitalization?
How 'bout not using this... l33t talk? And the post you're replying to
is not about your being new to Perl. It's about putting the subject of
one's post in the Subject.

>columns.....thanks for the links David.But aren't there any tutorials


Which columns? Who is David? (I know but) you're replying to Tad,
aren't you?

>abt these...i needed a bit of elaboration.


And the question is? I have a vague idea of you having some trouble
reading the documentation of the modules you're interested in using.
If so, then you should point out *which* difficulties you're actually
having...

Yeah, but http://search.cpan.org isn't case sensitive, so that wouldn't
cause the OP to not be able to find the relevant perldocs. Of course,
it would cause perl to not find the module ;-)

The best way to get a good answer is to ask a good question.
