Question:
How can I download a file via http?Answer:
You could make a system call to lynx and read the input. This puts a bit more load on your computer and should not be used if you are going to retrieve many documents.You have more control and a more efficient solution using the LWP package (second part in the code below).

# invoking lynx $html_code = `lynx -source http://www.yahoo.com/`; $text_data = `lynx -dump http://www.yahoo.com/`; # using LWP use LWP::Simple; $content = get('http://www.yahoo.com'); | ||
