Fellow Monks..

Well, I'm starting to learn more and more Perl; Until now, all I have done is Form Handling on the web, and basic file read/write on both the web and my local hard drive, because I work a lot on text files that have to do with strings matching and substituting... (initiate in RegEx also).

What I need to know is;

let's say there is a website for downloading files, the files are located in a world-readable folder, and I need to copy these files to a folder on my server; is there a way to read the contents of the file for ex:  http://www.somesite.com/downloads/file1.exe and write these contents on my server?? (the last part I know) so I need to know if there is a way to do that, and what module should I be looking for..
