I am wondering if there is a way to copy a webpage to a text file

print $fh get $url;
Thanks for your input. This is a really simple code to grab the html
code and works great. Is there also a way to grab the text shown on
the webpage rather than the html code?
I'm afraid I have nothing to add besides what Chas and others already
have said on the topic.
For example, the text on pages that are javascript (such as Yahoo
Finance stock quotes) do not show on the html code.
Obviously Yahoo don't want those pages to be scraped. If stock quotes is
your area of interest, why don't you choose some other web site that
provides similar info?
