wget, pavuk, sitescooper, LWP, harvest-ng, HTTP Fetcher, Metis, etc.
Hit Freshmeat and put in 'spider' or something like that to find out the
others.
I highly recommend the LWP or sitescooper approach, since you can also
extend it to pre-process files as they come in via other perl modules
(HTML::LinkExtor, XML::Parser, etc.). The second-best in my opinion is
of course pavuk, which can do cookies, authentication, javacript, and
thousands of other things.
