in reply to Using LWP instead of wget?

I really like Perl, but it takes a little more effort to get things going with it.

HA!

I read in a previous post on here about someone using system(wget .....) in perl, but a follow-up post suggested LWP

Its bad advice, ignore it (if your code is working, don't make work for yourself)

I'm not really getting in the LWP documentation how to do this..

lwp-download http... local/filename

lwpcook, LWP::Simple#mirror

How to read CPAN documentation, Tutorials: Perl documentation documentation, Searching Perl Documentation, How to RTFM

ddg://site:perlmonks.org LWP download...

    Jeez. Homework???
    *Sigh*
    Fine. I'll add them to my study list. In the meantime, I'm going to finish my little automation project.

    Good info though. Thanks
