It looks like you don't know much about usenet, either. You asked this
in alt.perl - and have got a fair ol' discussion going on. You should
learn to cross-post if you want to post the same question to two (or
more) groups.
Don't post here and somewhere else, separately. You'll end up with two
discussion threads - both of which will probably say much the same thing -
and you'll have wasted your time reading both, and our time replying.

Thank you all for the follow up.
up till now, seems no solution yet. Debates so far:
1. the $/ assignment, apparently I've done it right.
2. Yes, I am using Net::NNTP, and as Benjamin pointed out, the version
of Net::NNTP which comes with 5.8.0 has a bodyfh method. There is no
problem I am reading the news body. Just want to eliminate the excessive
blank lines.
Any ideas?
PS. I've read from google that in Perl 6.0, the input record separator
is associated with file handle, so that you can tell file handle to work
in paragraph mode once you have it. Don't know if such thing exist in
perl 5.

If the OP wants a paramter A with a value "1234&I=1899" then the "&"
should be encoded as "%26".
If the OP wants a paramter A with a value "1234" and a paramter I with
a value "1899" then the "&" should be encoded as "&".
None of this, of course, has the slightest thing to do with Perl.

I frequently am unsuccseeful using ActiveState's PPM (Perl Package Manager)
and PPM3 installation programs. The following result is typical, even in the
case of some common packages. What's the best way of installing these
modules, and should ActiveState's ppm/ppm3 be avoided?
D:\WINDOWS\system32>ppm install LWP-UserAgent
Installing package 'LWP-UserAgent'...
Error installing package 'LWP-UserAgent': Could not locate a PPD file for
package LWP-UserAgent

You are probably behind a proxy server/firewall and
you need to specify that by setting the
HTTP_proxy environment variable to the
appropriate value (same as your browser, probably
and looks like : http://proxy.domain.com:port
Why haven't you read perldoc ppm which tells
you all about this?
>should ActiveState's ppm/ppm3 be avoided?
No, it is excellent.

Thanks for your advice. However, I have the same problem when my firewall is
disabled.

Err, my perldoc has EXACTLY 4 lines on ppm, and they do NOT communicate a
thing. Again, perldoc sucks.
Why don't you "folks in the know" give the questioner a bit of help?
But speaking of ppm:
1) why doesn't insalling ppm3 completely wipe out ppm?
2) since ppm3 is so much of an improvement, why did the gurus not change the
prompt to ppm3?
