I would also add that Win32 Perl installations have "get.bat" in the /Perl/bin dir so you can "get" pages from the command line or you can write simple one liners to fetch one or many pages or binaries :-)

perl -le "`get http://www.perlmonks.com/index.pl?parent=392273;node_id
+=3333 >  node_$_.htm` for qw /3333/;"
[download]

This example fetches this node and the one above it.
