Running this, I get a 501 return code. I'm assuming it's because of the Cert warning. I go to the URL from a browser, Click the continue, and get the file displayed. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Algorithm::Diff qw(diff);
use File::Copy;
use LWP::Simple;

#Global variable declaration (if any used)
my ($addprinter, $zebra, $file1, $file2, $diffs, $date, $subject, $add
+ress, @f1, @f2);

#Printer script paths
$addprinter = "/cachesys41/scripts/addprinter.plx";
$zebra = "/cachesys41/scripts/zebra.plx";

#Must chomp date or regexp substitution returns wrong value
chomp ($date = `date`);
$date =~ (s/ \d\d:\d\d:\d\d CDT//);


#Get printers from CUPS (LWP / 'getstore()' method)
my $rc = getstore ("http://my.fqdn.com/txt", "/tmp/txt");

die "error  $rc";
