Home: Perl Programming Help: Intermediate: Read (html) file from other server

mmcw User May 9, 2000, 8:55 AM Post #1 of 6 (505 views) Read (html) file from other server Can't Post Hello, Does anyone know how to read a html file from an other server and write it to my server. For example I want to read the page: http://www.yahoo.com to my server at: http://www.test.nl/yahoo.html I already tried (with success) the following: # read en write currency convert file from www.yahoo.com use LWP::Simple; $rc = getstore($output_url,$output_file); where: $output_url = http://www.yahoo.com and: $output_file = /home/test/test.html This workes fine but I want to use the script at a server where this module (LWP::Simple) is not installed. Does anyone know if it is possible to do a thing like this without any modules or with standard modules!! I need help urgently!!

You can install LWP in your user directory. You can "cheat" by downloading the LWP suite and creating a subdirectory (named LWP) in the directory that your program resides in. Then, upload Simple.pm into that directory. If there are any other LWP files that Simple.pm relies on, upload those, too. I'm not aware of any other way to do what you need without LWP.

I am a C++, VB, HTML, JavaScript programmer and learning Perl now. My main is C++. But I would like to know if you guys know of any other great sites on teh internet with tutorials and sample scripts. Also what is LWP and where can I download it. From the sound of what it does, it sounds like a library of functions. Let me know. Thanks a lot. Mike

As for tutorials: Try this one http://agora.leeds.ac.uk/Perl/start.html A great list is here http://www.perl.com/reference/query.cgi?tutorials My favorite tutorial is at http://www.cgi101.com perlkid

You will have to use a module know matter what. so you have 2 options LWP or Socket module Cure
