Hi i dont want you to think im stupid or something but i just cant run this simple script

#! /usr/local/bin/perl
use LWP::Simple;
getstore ("http://mikeshea.net/cached_pages/5.html" ,"./public_html/newsfeeds/slashdot.html");

the scritpt is from:
http://www.mikeshea.net/newsfeeds/

Its Suppose to make a copy of the webpage but it just doest not work, the script runs ok when i telnet to my site and run it, trough the browser it doest not run (i think it cant anyway)

I that that maybe the
,"./public_html/newsfeeds/slashdot.html
was wrong but i tried everything
with full path /home/etc/kk

or just ./home/path)

or /home/path
or even jsut demo.htm
to see at least if its write something but nothing

Try my script


#!/usr/bin/perl
use LWP::Simple;
use strict;

my $path_to_save = '/home/user/full/path/to/saving/dir/page.html';
my $url_to_get = 'http://www.perl.com';

mirror($url_to_get,$path_to_save);

You said your path is:

/home/httpd/vhosts/site.com/httpdocs/storeexample.htm

However, your script example is set to ./public_html/newsfeeds/slashdot.html.

That will look in the current working directory the script is running in for that path and also have write permissions from the owner of the CGI process. Likely, this doesn't exist, it looks like the entirely wrong path given your example. Try a local write with the proper permissions on the file/directory, confirming that the path is also correct.
