Dhoydic,

Your message is not similar to the original message in this thread and you already posted your problem in a separate thread. Your problem concerns a perl method that cannot be found. The original message in this thread reported a permissions problem. Just because they both occurred in the same script does not make them similar.

It is difficult enough to try and solve one problem, but interjecting another, unrelated problem, into the thread does not help either the people trying to solve the problem or the person who started the thread. Please don't do that until the original problem has been solved at least.

This message is quite normal and is displayed anytime Links cannot use the parallel checker to validate links (LWP not installed on your server for perl or, installed incorrectly -- this is referring to a perl module, not the LWP stuff included in the Links distribution).

This is your real error message. It is telling you, as best as I can determine, that members.aol.com does not allow access to the socket method of verifying the links. I might be wrong about that, but that is how it looks to me.

If I am correct, then you are up a creek without a paddle unless AOL gets LWP installed (or installed correctly) for their version of perl or allows socket usage. Good luck with either. Wink
