The text file will be served so I was considering an HTTP Get method, but I'm not sure how that's done. :[ Computers let you make more mistakes faster than any other invention in human history, with the possible exceptions of handguns and tequila. ]:

Howdy,

Anyone got any suggested methods for retrieving remote files from machines in
Perl?

I need to grab a txt file off of one machine from another. I can use the FTP module but I'd prefer another way. The text file will be served so I was considering an HTTP Get method, but I'm not sure how that's done.
