Very Computer

OK, thanks to those who responded to my previous question.  It helped a
lot.  Here is my next question.  I need a script that can connect to
predetermined www sites, get the source for specified html docs, and
write that source to a file locally.  I assume that this has to be done
with cgi scripting, but I have no clue how to use this.  Any help will be
very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg

  I know of 2 ways of doing it. Use "lynx -dump http://......" or I've
  a perl script "httpget" which will do the same.
