[HTTP-Recorder] Article / code mismatch?

[Marc Mims]

I must be missing something.  I read the "Web Testing with
HTTP::Recorder article at:
http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2004/06/04/recorder.html

I created a script directly from the source in the article:

    #!/usr/bin/perl

    use HTTP::Proxy;
    use HTTP::Recorder;

    my $proxy = HTTP::Proxy->new();

    # create a new HTTP::Recorder object
    my $agent = new HTTP::Recorder;

    # set the log file (optional)
    $agent->file("/tmp/myfile");

    # set HTTP::Recorder as the agent for the proxy
    $proxy->agent( $agent );

    # start the proxy
    $proxy->start();

    1;

Running it generates the error message:

   Can't locate object method "file" via package "HTTP::Recorder" at
   ./http-recorder line 12.

I worked around that by providing a the file option to the
HTTP::Recorder constructor:

   my $agent = new HTTP::Recorder(file => "/tmp/myfile");

That works, and I get the expected output in the log file.

But I've had no success attempting to access the HTTP::Recorder
Control Panel:

   500 Can't connect to http-recorder:80 (Bad hostname
   'http-recorder')

The article says: See Configuration Options for more information
about setting up the control URL.  However, the link to Configuration
options is a dead link:
http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2004/06/04/recorder.html#config

Surely I'm missing something.  I've seen messages on the list
containing the original script from the article with every indication
that it is working.  What might I be missing?
