Odd.

Here is the output of a run with timeout(10):

  $ date; perl hep.pl; date
  Sat Dec  8 21:20:20 CET 2012
  URL:http://www.ta[...]
  Error POSTing http://www.ta[...]
  Sat Dec  8 21:20:32 CET 2012
  $ 

This is with:

  $ perl --version | grep version
  This is perl 5, version 14, subversion 2 (v5.14.2) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
  $ pmvers LWP::UserAgent
  6.04
  $ pmvers WWW::Mechanize
  1.71
  $ 

On a Debian sid machine.

I get the same thing on a Debian squeeze (stable) machine:

  $ date; perl hep.pl; date
  Sat Dec  8 21:21:27 CET 2012
  URL:http://www.ta[...]
  Error POSTing http://www.ta[...]
  Sat Dec  8 21:21:40 CET 2012
  $ perl --version | grep built
  This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
  $ pmvers LWP::UserAgent
  5.835
  $ pmvers WWW::Mechanize
  1.64
  $ 


  Best regards,
