Hi,
For example now I want to download this list of files.

What I usually do is to use "wget" one by one for each of the url of each file. Is there a way we can do it automatically with Perl? Since each of the file is quite large I need to download it overnight.

I am aware that I can write a parser for that website , get the *.gz link for each of the file and run wget for each of them.

I was thinking if it is could be done in quicker way. Any CPAN module that does this kind of task?

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
