Can't call method "is_success" on unblessed reference

[morebrackets]

Code:

use strict;
use Furl;
my $furl = Furl::HTTP->new(
    agent   => '',
    timeout => 3,
);
my $res = $furl->get('https://en.wikipedia.org/');
die $res->status_line unless $res->is_success;
print $res->content;

Error:

Can't call method "is_success" on unblessed reference

Furl::HTTP's request does not return an object, it returns a list of simple values. It's the class used inside Furl to make HTTP requests. They can look a bit similar if you've got both doc pages up.

If you're looking for an object, you probably just want Furl->new, rather than Furl::HTTP->new, otherwise if you did intend to use Furl::HTTP, this is everything it returns:

my ($protocol_minor_version, $status_code, $status_message, $response_headers, $response_body)
  = $furlhttp->get('https://somesite.com');

This interface is very "do it yourself."
