That's a good example, thanks. LWP looks like a good alternative; one
question ...
As I use "wget --timestamping ...", it doesn't DL the file unless the
timestamp is different.
Is LWP::Simple's mirror() function similar to wget's "--mirror"
option, in that it supports/uses timestamping?
Looking at your example I see
"didn't need to get the file"
does that mean that it DID retrieve the file, and simply determined
that it wasn't necessary? Or that it 1st determined that it wasn't
necessary and didn't even DL the file?
