Please help with this NT script. I am trying to fetch the web site (which I will try and do every two or three hours) and get it loaded locally to a file called "cony.html". I even print the correct contents of the web site but it doesnt want to write the contents into "cony.html" I do have write permissions on "cony.html" and I dont get any messages saying "write failed".
use LWP::Simple; #use strict; #use warnings; my $url = 'http://website'; # get the HTML text my $content = get($url); if (not defined $content) { print "URL is not available.\n"; } else { print "Fetched data.\n"; } open(TMPFILE,">cony.html") || die "\nwrite failed: $!"; print TMPFILE "$content"; close TMPFILE; print "$content\n";
