Really?! That's hot. So I could do:

my $response = $robot->get($url, $url);
if ($response->is_success and $response->content_type eq 'application/
+pdf'){
print PDF $contents;
}
[download]

how would i get $contents? Some type of parsing?

I guess that means i can do the same thing with pictures too?

Even easier:

use strict;
use LWP::Simple qw/getstore/;

my $url  = "http://blahblah/file.pdf";
my $file = "/home/user/file.pdf";

getstore($url, $file);
[download]
