Re: Download a file from website

Does it work if you try to do it outside of Perl? When I run your curl command in terminal (curl -C - -o pigtutorial.tar.gz https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/PIG/PigTutorial), I just get a 65kb file that is the html of the site (and not a tarball). Are you pointing to the correct place?

rightly replied by frozenwith joy. When you check the file downloaded file from the link it has a href for the location of exact file and now it downloads from that location mentioned in href. This thread could be closed	[reply]
