siva kumar has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I want to download flash, images and html files from a website. I come across a linux command 'CURL' which is used to get the html files. I couldn't get iamges and flash files though. Is there any CPAN module which supports the same?? Thanks for your help!

    You could do this in perl with LWP, but I would use the wget utility. Look at the -p option.

    What scheme? HTTP? LWP will also allow you to download via HTTP (and others).
