I could able to open the file successfully and pdf file is opening in the webpage format and I am not able to save the file (pdf). Please let me know where am i making mistake? or suggest me some solution to save the pdf file in the local system.
Note: I changed the name of the site and username/password for security reasons.

use Win32::IEAutomation;
use Data::Dumper;
use LWP::Simple;

$\="\n";
$,=" ";

$ie=Win32::IEAutomation->new(visible=>1, maximize=>1);

$url='www.test.com/pp/login.asp';

$ie->gotoURL($url);

$ie->getTextBox('name:', 'loginName')->SetValue('test');
$ie->getTextBox('name:', 'password')->SetValue('test');
$ie->getButton('name:', 'loginBtn')->Click;

$url1 = 'http://www.test.com/pp/lookup.asp';

$ie->gotoURL($url1);

print "Logged in Successfully.....\n";


$ie->getSelectList('name:', 'field')->SelectItem("A Type");
$ie->getSelectList('name:', 'value')->SelectItem("A Notice");

$ie->getButton('name:', 'submitBtn')->Click;

$url2 = 'http://www.test.com/pp/lookup.asp?pid=50643';

$ie->gotoURL($url2);

print "Reading PDF files.....\n";

$url3 = 'http://test.test.net/files/b6533c01-9ddc-4865-8381-e774804b8a
+49.pdf';

$ie->gotoURL($url3);

print "Selected PDF file Successfully.....\n";

my $file =  get ("$url3") ;

open( FILE, '>', "D:\\filename.pdf" ) or die $!; 
binmode FILE; 
print FILE $file; 
close( FILE ); 

print "Downloaded.....\n";
