Hi ,

I have written a script to parse an XML file using XML::DOM . But , the problem is , the file has to be retrieved from an URL which is something like : " http://abc.def/xyz.xml " I have tried adding it to ARGV[0] . But, then it does not work. The script needs to run in the following way :

perl parsingscript.pl http://abc.def/xyz.xml

The way I tried was :

my $file = 'http://abc.def/xyz.xml '
my $doc = $parser->parsefile($file)
[download]

But, this does not work.

Could you tell me please, how to retrieve this XML file from this URL and parse it by using it as a commmand line argument ?
