im totally new to perl (started in it as of yesterday). and i started learning for this specific project (though i will definitely use it alot from now on.) i wrote this post already before, but comp crashed browser when i submitted. so anyways. this code should load RS links from a file and load cookies from another file, then use them both to download from the file hosting site Rapidshare (as a premium user, hence cookies). the code is horrid i know, and totally non-functioning. i was hoping anyone who replies would help with any tidbits, examples and fixes would be loved.
Also, i wrote this using backticks and wget, i can't get LWP to work on RS's cgi login page, if anyone knows how, i'd be beyond grateful. thanks. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my $localvar = $ARGV[0];
open(FILE, "$localvar") or die "Failed to openfile: $!";
while(<FILE>){
    if($_ =~ m/^http/) {
    my $wgetarg = '-q -c --load-cookies /home/Locke/.cookies/rapidshar
+e';
    my @wget = `wget $wgetarg $_`;
        foreach(@wget) {
            print 'Done with this file\n';
        }
    }
}
