Re: svn without webdav

would something as simple as (ok , this isn't perl) wget -r -c -np http://... work? Recursive (-r) http download of an http directory fetching (-c) only changed files or files that don't exist locally, and (-np) not going back up into higher directories.

just another cpan module author

I've tried this and the typical default download is an XML file in a very simple format (<file> and <dir> tags instead of HTML links). Obviously wget can't(?) parse XML files to get the links so it can't recurse. So yesterday I wrote a simple Perl module which mirrors the directory tree into the current directory by parsing and extracting the links. Works nicely for the trunk I was trying to get but I'm not sure how robust it is. I'll try it out on a few more web trunks and if it's general enough I will submit it to CPAN	[reply]
