I can currently open an create a file of source code from a web site using the following code:

use LWP::Simple; $source = get("www.url.com");

open(FILE, ">file.txt");
print FILE $source;
close(FILE);
The problem is that I want to create the files in a sub folder rather than having it print to the parent directory. For instance, if my program is called. program.pl and stored in the "mainfolder" folder, in the above example, it creates a file called file.txt in "mainfolder". However, what I want the program to do is to create a new file in a subfolder of mainfolder called subfolder. So even though the program "program.pl" is housed in "mainfolder", when I run "program.pl", I want it to create "file.txt" in "subfolder" of "mainfolder". How do I do that? Thanks, Jeff
