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.

It has to do with the way our servers are set up.

Right now we can only ftp to the development box and then scp files to the production servers. Our production teams maintain the content on the live instance. However I can't directly ftp into that box.

Otherwise I would jump on the FTP solution in a heartbeat. However it's just not workable in this case.
