If you're just trying to save the HTML file, and in an automated way (I'm guessing this is the case, or you could just click "save as"), why not just use something like wget? I don't see that Perl enters into it at all, really. Failing that, have a look at LWP or WWW::Mechanize, if you're doing this as part of a script.	[reply]

There are a lot of ways to automate IE, but if you are just grabbing the HTML and saving it, you'll be writing a lot more code to do it. Try LWP::Simple: `use LWP::Simple; my $url = $ARGV[0]; my $file = "c:\Documents\savefile.htm"; getstore($url,$file);` [download] Can't get much easier than that!	[reply] [d/l]
