Every time I hear it has no real documentation (or documentation sucks) I wish to playfully smack that person :)

http://search.cpan.org/~szbalint/WWW-Curl-4.05/lib/WWW/Curl.pm#DOCUMENTATION

This module provides a Perl interface to libcurl. It is not intended to be a standalone module and because of this, the main libcurl documentation should be consulted for API details at http://curl.haxx.se. The documentation you're reading right now only contains the Perl specific details, some sample code and the differences between the C API and the Perl one.
So how many times have you read http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-tutorial.html?

Does anyone understand what callback functions do?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callback_(computer_science)
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-tutorial.html explains what libcurl callback's do.

Any clue as to how i might download a file over ftp and save it on my hard drive?
http://curl.haxx.se/lxr/source/docs/examples/ftpget.c
compare with http://search.cpan.org/src/SZBALINT/WWW-Curl-4.05/t/01basic.t

Although other "libraries" exist that will probably do what i want quicker i have to download a lot of files at a time, speed is an issue and it appears that Curl is a solution to my problem, any ideas?
You appear to very much behind the curve, after 2 days I would hire a tutor/consultant.
