What I'm trying to do is automate the downloading of the backupfile created from my web site. You need to login, auth done via .htaccess, and then you have access to download the file over http. I wanted to write a perl script which I could get to run once a day, via cron, to do this. Your right I could use getright etc but these packages don't run on the command line, and with no interaction to enable them to run as a cron job.

Thanks

Chris
