LWP-DOWNLOAD(1p)               User Contributed Perl Documentation               LWP-DOWNLOAD(1p)



NAME
       lwp-download - Fetch large files from the web

SYNOPSIS
       lwp-download [-a] <url> [<local path>]

DESCRIPTION
       The lwp-download program will save the file at url to a local file.

       If local path is not specified, then the current directory is assumed.

       If local path is a directory, then the basename of the file to save is picked up from the
       Content-Disposition header or the URL of the response.  If the file already exists, then
       lwp-download will prompt before it overwrites and will fail if its standard input is not a
       terminal.  This form of invocation will also fail is no acceptable filename can be derived
       from the sources mentioned above.

       If local path is not a directory, then it is simply used as the path to save into.

       The lwp-download program is implemented using the libwww-perl library.  It is better
       suited to down load big files than the lwp-request program because it does not store the
       file in memory.  Another benefit is that it will keep you updated about its progress and
       that you don't have much options to worry about.

       Use the "-a" option to save the file in text (ascii) mode.  Might make a difference on
       dosish systems.

EXAMPLE
       Fetch the newest and greatest perl version:

        $ lwp-download http://www.perl.com/CPAN/src/latest.tar.gz
        Saving to 'latest.tar.gz'...
        11.4 MB received in 8 seconds (1.43 MB/sec)
