Re^3: Using Mechanize to download a zip file?

The module might be still broken; when I attempt to use the $mech->save_content method in this code:

use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use WWW::Mechanize;
use Win32::FileOp;


#use Win32::FileOp qw(ShellExecute);
#    ShellExecute("http://finance.yahoo.com");
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
$mech->get("http://finance.yahoo.com");
my $filename = 'c:yahoo.html';
$mech->save_content ( $filename );
[download]

I get the following message:
Can't locate object method "save_content" via package "WWW::Mechanize" at Yahoo. pl line 13, <DATA> line 164.

    * Added the $mech->save_content( $filename ) function, so you
          can dump stuff to files easily.
