Re: Question about WWW::Mechanize

You need an encoding, like

use URI::Escape;

my $filename = URI::Escape::uri_escape( $link->url_abs->path );

# /pdf/100004/_20090326.pdf
# %2Fpdf%2F100004%2F_20090326.pdf
[download]

`use URI::Escape; my $filename = URI::Escape::uri_escape( $link->url_abs->path );` [download] This line of PERL (listed above) works, but I need to make a change. The PDFs are saving with the encoding in the file name. How could this be filtered so that the end result looks like A, not B? A. 100004_20090326.pdf B. %2Fpdf%2F100004%2F_20090326.pdf Thanks alot!!!
