Is it possible to use LWP::Simple to retrieve a binary file (i.e. a .netCDF
file)? Using the following code I can retrieve what I'm guessing are parts
of the file. That is, what is retrieved is always 3871 bytes even though
the file is actually much larger. Worse, I can not read the .netcdf file
once it is retrieved. Any ideas why this may be the case? Or better yet,
how to grab a binary data file off the web?
#!/usr/gin/perl -w
use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
getstore ('http://www.netcdf_url', 'filename');
Thank you in advance.
