Yeah, yeah, I've heard the answer before: use Net::FTP. But that's not what Anonymous really asked. With perl there's almost always more than one way to do it, but I'm curious to see if can be done this way--with LWP. Is this simply a limitation of the LWP module? Is there no way to tell LWP ow to do buffering? FWIW, I ran into a similar situation once while working on an embedded platform that made adding modules very difficult. It's nice to be working on PC platforms again, where adding modules is easy, but I will never again tell someone who for some reason resists using some module to use it anyway. I'll be watching this thread to see if the problem can be solved, methinks....
