With WWW::Mechanize, it's obviously easy to automatically store non-texual content as a file. For example, the following scipt does the work well.

use WWW::Mechanize;
$m = WWW::Mechanize->new();

$example_url = 'http://china35.newhua.com/down/VideoCutter_Demo.rar';

$m->get($example_url,':content_file' => 'demo.rar');

But how do I achieve the same effect using Win32::IE::Mechanize? When I use the following script, I will have to manually click save button and specify a location to save the file.

use Win32::IE::Mechanize;
$ie = Win32::IE::Mechanize->new();

$example_url = 'http://china35.newhua.com/down/VideoCutter_Demo.rar';

$ie->get($example_url,':content_file' => 'demo.rar');
[download]

Or is it related to the behavioral difference between IE and FF? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance:)

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
