Dear Folks, I am trying to write a script to, among other things, non-interactively download a file using a web link. Specifically, the file is a compressed archive of firefox, and the link is: http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-2.0.0.13&os=linux&lang=en-US Doing this using utilities like wget, ncftp, or lftp, on the command line in Linux have all failed. It is trivial to interactively download the file using a web browser and a mouse click. The downloaded file is firefox-2.0.0.13.tar.gz. Is there a way to accomplish non-interactive downloading from links like these in Perl, using a module perhaps? Thank you. ChandraThread Next
