in reply to Download a file from the web

CPAN has quite a few PDF modules. I bet one (if not several) will do exactly what you want.

Nevermind... LWP::Simple is what you want. Though its unclear how a method for downloading .doc would fail to work on .pdf urls....

    I don't think PDF-specific modules are particularly helpful in this case; the original poster just wants to fetch the PDFs, and the rest of the processing he can handle already.
