in thread http interpolation

Gellyfish,
Examine this case, I think I need to parse the $ARGV[0] before the "print redirect"
That's what you mean ?

    No what I mean is that it is not perl that is doing the substitution of the '~' it is the shell, if you print $ARGV[0] as the first thing in your program you will see what is happening. You need to call your program like 

      program.pl 'http://www.xs4all.nl/~werksman/webmees/index.html'

    [download]
    or 
      program.pl  http://www.xs4all.nl/\~werksman/webmees/index.html

    [download]
    to prevent the '~' from being substituted for the path to your home directory.
