A portable solution would be to use the Cwd module. Try this
use Cwd;
print cwd();
On a windows machine with cygwin this is different from $ENV{PWD}. cwd()
gives me c:\cygwin\home\peterc while $ENV{PWD} is /home/peterc.
As for the wget thing, you should look into the LWP modules. I think
LWP::Simple will do what you want.
>From the docs...
use LWP::Simple;
$content = get("http://www.sn.no/";)
Hope this helps,
Peter C.

Subject: 2 simple questions...
I need to be able to do a wget (But not with a system() command if
possible)
I need to get the current directory. In Linux I type pwd and it shows it
to me, or
I can use the $PWD variable. But if I :
print "The current path is: $PWD";
it is blank.
How can I get the current path variable?
TIA!
