Hello, Thanks for responding! :) Yes, if I manually do the same things I do get a zip file!
The difference is in the sizes of these files, the File downloaded via the script is a little bigger (about 20 KB) than the File downloaded manually with a browser (the file sizes are in MBs) So I guess there is some additional stuff in there ( $mech->content ) apart from the zip data, but no idea how to separate these two.

Can you confirm the file actually _is_ a zip file? Have you gotten a correct zip file if you do the same with a browser? -- fxn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
