NAME
lwp-download - fetch large files from the net
SYNOPSIS
lwp-download [-a] <url> [<local file>]
DESCRIPTION
The lwp-download program will down load the document specified by the URL
given as the first command line argument to a local file. The local
filename used to save the document is guessed from the URL unless
specified as the second command line argument.
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'...
