If you're only interested in having a copy of a web page on your HD use LWP::Simple. from the PODs: use LWP::Simple; $content = get("http://www.sn.no/") if (mirror("http://www.sn.no/", "foo") == RC_NOT_MODIFIED) { ... } if (is_success(getprint("http://www.sn.no/"))) { ... } get($url) The get() function will fetch the document identified by the given URL and return it. It returns undef if it fails. The $url argument can be either a simple string or a reference to a URI object. getprint($url) Get and print a document identified by a URL. The document is printed to STDOUT as data is received from the network. If the request fails, then the status code and message are printed on STDERR. The return value is the HTTP response code. mirror($url, $file) Get and store a document identified by a URL, using If-modified-since, and checking the Content-Length. Returns the HTTP response code.
