Using/Learning "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" to write Perl. Error in one line of code. Looks OK syntactically.
Here's my VERY simple line of code (with error). This should be a no brainer but I've just setup Eclipse version 4.6.2 (Build 20161208-0600) and it's all new to me. It also appears that the escaping the forward slashes weren't needed either as that didn't work. :)
--- CODE Begin ---
use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::Simple;
sub main {
print get("http://www.SomeWebsiteThatWorks.com/"); <-- ** Error = Use of uninitialized value in print at (line of code or this line). **
}
main();
--- CODE Ends ---
Thanks!

Well, I'm one step closer now. I used http://www.lpi.org as the URL but it comes back with "Couldn't get it! at (line of code failing).
Is it possible that since I'm behind a Proxy at my company, that I need to add a Proxy string of sorts to allow the request to go through?

If your browser need to setup proxy to read http://www.lpi.org/, then you might need to use proxy to get the content of lpi.org in perl.
I've no proxy at my side, I can not test for it.
