I have forgot to include the patched "get_iplayer.pl"

Which as  been patched to solve few problem instructions over here
https://github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer/wiki/instructions

download the file from here 
https://github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer/raw/master/get_iplayer
rename the old one to the name of you choice (I normally add the 
date.old at the end "get_iplayer.pl.20110611.old")
and now copy the downloaded file into the folder where get_iplayer is 
installed (|C:\Program Files\get_iplayer\get_iplayer.pl) Win 7
just make sure it's got name get_iplayer.pl and that's it.
