I have a script in /cgi-bin/. I want it when called to download a dynamic
file, actually an image to a file on the server. Basically pull a graph
from whats actually a router of mine, save it to /temp_images.

I have tried using: "system "/usr/bin/wget..." with no luck.

Can someone give me a shove in the right direction? I cannot seem to find
where the perl "get" command supports simply saving to a directory but I may
have missed something and many times do.

Thanks.

Matt

An actual error message is more use than 'no luck'. Does your wget live
in /usr/bin (mine doesn't)?

See LWP::Simple::getstore.

We have successfully used pscp for going on several years to upload
and download all kinds of files, large and small.

Perhaps /usr/bin/wget... doesn't exist? I dunno, just guessing as you
don't give any clue what so ever what goes wrong. Perhaps you are working
on a Windows machine?
