I hope that this is just a cut-n-paste error, as that is now what you mean. Missing a dash:

my $res = $mech->mirror ("download_link");
        #      ^ there
print " response is :", $res, "\n\n"; # no content

[download]

If you are using use strict; and use warnings; running the code would show you.

As I showed in my action list in this thread, the fact the a page that contains the links is not updated does not mean that the files it links to are not updated.

You should post more of the real code for us to check if you are checking the right headers.


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
