Re^5: How to download or run exe file using rest client.

If I run your code as it stands, but with a valid URL as the value for $url it succeeds fine. Therefore the problem is specific to the URL you are actually using. Since you haven't said what that is, it will be hard to help you further.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use LWP::Simple;

my $url = "https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1231486;part=1;abspart=1
+;displaytype=displaycode";
##die "Couldn't get it!" unless defined $content;

my $file = "BCM_console.exe";

my $code = getstore($url, "$file");

print "CODE : $code\n";
