LWP::UserAgent does not work in http

Hi,

On a FC4, Plesk 8.0 Server the perl module LWP::UserAgent does not seem to work.

I tried to ping and dig the domains holding the xml files, that worked fine.
The results in the shell are all right, so dns seems to work from shell.

I tried to completely disable the firewall and then tried again from http and still no result.

If I add the domainname in the hosts file (although a ping from shell works!) I get this error:
============
500 Can't connect to www.domainname.com:80 (connect: Permission denied)
============

If I don’t add the domainname in de the hosts file I get this error:
============
500 Can't connect to www.domainname.com:80 (Bad hostname ' www.domainname.com')
============

In Cpan I reinstalled the module LWP::UserAgent and it’s there.

When I run the .pl script from the shell it works fine also.

The script contains no more than:

=============

#!/usr/bin/perl

require LWP::UserAgent;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

print "<html>";
print "<body>";

$sUrl = "http://www.domainname.com/feeds/document1.xml";

$oUserAgent = new LWP::UserAgent;
$oUserAgent->agent("Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98; DigExt)");
$oHTTP = new HTTP::Request 'GET', "$sUrl";
$oResponse = $oUserAgent->request($oHTTP);
$sResponse = $oResponse->content;

print "<b>$sUrl</b>";
print "<xmp>$sResponse</xmp>";
print "<hr />";

print "</body>";
print "</html>";


=============

Does anyone know what can be the problem?
Thanks in advance.
