How about using LWP? # Create a new agent object use LWP::UserAgent; $ua = new LWP::UserAgent; $ua->agent("SomeAgentName/0.1 " . $ua->agent);
# Create a request (HTTP,FTP,File) my $req = new HTTP::Request GET => 'http://www.insiteful.tv'; # Pass request to the user agent and get response my $res = $ua->request($req); # Check the outcome of the response if ($res->is_success) { print $res->content; } else { print "Sorry, no luck. \n"; } Scot Robnett inSite Internet Solutions [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Octavian Rasnita [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 20, 2002 10:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: opening and printing a document? Hi all, I know how to open and print an html or text document on the screen if the file is on my site and I know the real path to the file. I want to open and print a document on the screen but it is not on my site and of course, I don't know the real path to that file. I've seen that I need the real path if I want to use: open (FILE, "$path"); while(<FILE>) { print $_; } Do I have another solution? Thank you.
