Re^2: How do I convert this wget to perl?

Sorry for being slow here, but I am having trouble wrapping my mind around what is going on with

$ua->get( $url, ':content_file' => 'file.bin', 'Cookie' => '...', );

Do I create 'file.bin'?

or does the 'get' do that?

What goes in the '...' part of the 'Cookie'?

Does this download the cookie for me?

And I guess I do not understand what a cookie is. I thought it was "oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" or is that the name of something else that has to be downloaded?

Do I do a second 'get' to download the .exe file after the above? or does the above do the whole thing?

See LWP::UserAgent. The `->get` method sends a GET request and downloads the response to the file `file.bin` as per the `:content_file` argument. I don't find a special `Cookie` argument documented for `->get` though, so I suspect that this won't work to set the cookie header as you want it. I think you will have to use HTTP::Cookies to set the cookie to the value you want.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Why not just call the wget executable from within your Perl script using system? With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

This sounds weird. If it works when you manually type the command into the shell, it should also work when run via system. Maybe you want to show us the script you're running?	[reply]
