i need to connect a certain url and save his source in a directory on
my personal computer.

how do i do it?

use LWP::Simple; # untested
get_store 'http://www.perl.org', 'some/dir/perl_org.html';

How do I fetch an HTML file?

 

[Steven Smolinski]

use LWP::Simple; # untested
get_store 'http://www.perl.org', 'some/dir/perl_org.html';

I believe you wanted getstore('url', 'filename');

To the OP: see perldoc LWP::Simple.

i tried to do so and i get this error:
Undefined subroutine &main::get called at link_list.pl line 11.

so i add this to my script:
my $content = LWP::simple->get("http://www.perl.com/");

and then i got this error:
Can't locate object method "get" via package "LWP::simple" (perhaps you forgot t
o load "LWP::simple"?) at link_list.pl line 11.

Did you load LWP::Simple?

use LWP::Simple;

so i add this to my script:
my $content = LWP::simple->get("http://www.perl.com/");

Case matters.

my $content = LWP::Simple->get("http://www.perl.com/");

and then i got this error:
Can't locate object method "get" via package "LWP::simple" (perhaps you forgot t
o load "LWP::simple"?) at link_list.pl line 11.
