Still no joy for me

[John Reay]

What was previously working for me has been broken since the BBC's
change. Now I get all the time.....

john at system7:~$ ./get_iplayer --pid=b05xxh0h
--file-prefix="<title>_<episode>_<pid>"  --force

ERROR: Failed to get version pid metadata from iplayer site

I don't understand the warning about XML::Simple perl module either,
as it's installed on my system.

I downloaded get_iplayer and made it executable.
I also deleted the .get_iplayer subdirectory before running it to be
sure everything was downloaded (plugins etc.) afresh.

Any ideas?
