Re^3: Keeping a local copy of a file up-to-date

Because if you look inside that script, ignoring the command line options and help stuff, the whole script consists of two lines:

use LWP::Simple qw( mirror );

$rc = mirror( $url, $file );

'nuff said?

The OP asked (note the added emphasis highlighting the bit that you so carefully omitted from your quote above!): Is there a CPAN module or something* for that sort of task - or do I have to re-invent the wheel?* `lwp-mirror` exactly answers that query including the bit about not having to reinvent the wheel. It means he doesn't have to write anything!. He can just use the existing script directly. What is there about an exactly appropriate answer that you do not understand?
