Automated download of remote files
Is there anyway I can automate the download of a
remote file in perl? Such as the to simulate the
following:<br>cp some_remote_http_file
local_file_or_filehandle<br><br>So the script would read in a URL and download
the
file to its local disk.

The easiest way it to use IO::Socket to make an INET connection to the remote
server, then send an HTTP GET to get the file, then just put the output from the
Socket handle into an open File handle.
