Question

I've tried to install the Headlines Plugin. Although the installer detected no dependencies and the plugin seems to be correctly installed, I get the following error message:

TWiki detected an internal error - please check your TWiki logs and webserver logs for more information.

Can't locate object method "new" via package "URI"

The error log of my apache server has a more detailed error information.:

Can't locate object method "new" via package "URI" at /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/HTTP/Request.pm line 82.

I'd be really thankful for any idea or guess what might be wrong with my setup here.

Thanks Alex
