I was trying to download a file from a web site http://www.ebi.ac.uk/thornton-srv/databases/cgi-bin/pdbsum/GetPage.pl?pdbcode=$pdb"

where $pdb is my var....and then I want to download a file postscript from a link...but when you try manually it ask if you want to save or see the file, so I cannot use wget command of linux...but using LWP::Simple and the mirror function it runs and below I give my code

use LWP::Simple;
print "write the name of the folder where you wanna save your file: ";
my $Dir= <STDIN>;
chomp ($Dir);
if(!-e $Dir)
{
system "mkdir $Dir";
}
if(!-w $Dir or !-d $Dir)
{
die "ERROR: Cannot access directory: '$Dir'. Exiting\n";
}
print "write name of the path of that directory: ";
my $path= <STDIN>;
chomp ($path);
my $pdb = <STDIN>; #if you wanna try use 1xmj...
chomp ($pdb);
my @files = (["http://www.ebi.ac.uk/thornton-srv/databases/cgi-bin/pdb
+sum/RunLigplot.pl?pdb=1xmj&amp;file=ligplot01_01", "/$path/$Dir/name_
+file.pl"]);          
for my $duplet (@files) {
    mirror($duplet->[0], $duplet->[1]);
}
