I think it's rather `system("wget -O file http://www.perlmonks.org");` [download] (note the capital O). Update: on second thought, maybe it isn't. Depends on what you want to capture.	[reply] [d/l]

I have the file output within wget working, but it is harder to manipulate the output that way. I'll try tap, thanks.	[reply]
