So, you can actually execute that piece of code to dl a large file (~100MB+) and have it copied directly to a file, without using a portion of memory directly proportional to file's size?
If that is the case, then I most definitely must be missing something. Can you spot something wrong with my code?

PS: Didnt know 'Devel::VersionDump'; thanks for the input.
