asked not to what? Is this not for LWP support?

1) No its not for taking other peoples websites and passing them off as my
own. In fact its for posting to a SMS Gateway.
2) I have tried a minimal script run it on the server is question which LWP
times out with no response from any domain, inc perl.com But same script
works fine on my computer (Windows) its had been working for months prior to
this problem.
3) I dont think this is a perl problem, but rather a LWP problem. Thats why
im here. This is why im asking what, on a server, can stop LWP from
receiving a response. Or how can I have it run in debug mode?

And Gunnar, From what I can judge of your character, you didnt read the
posts properly, miss understod what was said and proceeded to be rude
yourself. So I ask you this, was I really rude by asking for help?
