Hi
I have now used the code below to download the CSV file which it does but the
rest of the script does not get executed e.g. to open the file and read the
data and place it in to it databases are ideas why?
use LWP::Simple;
$url = "web-server here";
$file = "/home/filename.csv";
$content = getstore($url,$file);
more code here which does not run
Thank you
Ben
