Sorry this is a complete newbie question (and I probably don't even have the terminology correct), but I have been searching for the past hour for this anwswer and am completely lost.
$response = $ua->get($url); if (not ($response->is_success)) { die "Can't retrieve $url\n"; } if ($response->filename !~ /$regex/) { die "Can't get name of file from header.\n"; } else { open ( FILE, '>', $response->filename ) or die "Can't open file for writing.\n"; print FILE $response->content; close FILE or die "Can't close file.\n"; print "Saved data to $response->filename\n\n"; }
All works well (even the tests) except for the last line. I get:
Saved data to HTTP::Response=HASH(0x29e79e0)->filename
How do I access that variable (and why is it different inside of the print statement)?
