Hi, i need to download a file using perl from a website. The link is the complete file address. Earlier i was able to do it using LWA as the file content could be viewed in the browser itself but now when i open the link in my internet browser its asking me to save the file so not showing the content of the file there itself. Could you please tell me how to handle it.
Thanks!

Install File::Remote from CPAN and it's straightforward from there:

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use File::Remote qw(:replace); # special :replace tag

# read from a remote file, display or download
open(REMOTE, "host:/path/to/remote/file") or die $!;
print while (< REMOTE >);
close(REMOTE);
