Hey all, I want to grab a config file from a web server. Basically I need to pull a ServerList.csv from a web server so I don't have to distribute it all over.

Is this a Perl question?

Duh, yes, it is -- you said "grab", not "serve". Ignore the last mail.

The simplest way to do this is in Perl with LWP:

    use LWP::Simple;
    $content = get($URL);

Or to be more robust about it:

    use LWP::Simple;
    unless (defined ($content = get $URL)) {
        die "could not get $URL\n";
    }

Make sense?
