in reply to WebFetch::Slashdot

I think that putting double quotes around the URL will do the trick.

    no such luck, thanks for the reply though...

    i tried: 
    perl -w -MWebFetch::Slashdot -e "&fetch_main" -- --dir D:\ --alt_url "
+http://slashdot.org/slashdot.xml"

    [download]

    and 
    perl -w -MWebFetch::Slashdot -e "&fetch_main" -- --dir D:\ [--alt_url 
+"http://slashdot.org/slashdot.xml"]

    [download]

    neither worked...

      What happened when you tried the first one?

      You can quit attempting it with the square brackets... that won't help. The brackets are commonly used in documentation to indicate that the arguments contained in them are optional.
