Subject: Fetch resports errors but files are actually being downloaded
Fetch spews errors but files are actually being downloaded correctly. This is ActivePerl build 817 on Windows XP Home. Maybe the false errors have to do with the direction of the slashes???

Indeed it does... and i even fixed it already... except, the release isn't on CPAN... may have been one of those 'need more coffee moments'. Anyway, if you upgrade to File::Fetch 0.08, this problem should be gone. Below is the change list: Changes for 0.08 Wed Jul 5 13:56:36 CEST 2006 ================================================ * address: #18942: unproper handling of http errors in external handlers: * the wget handler, on a failed attempt, now unlinks its outputfile * the curl handler is updated to follow '302 moved' and such like status messages * lynx use is further discouraged, as it doesn't communicate http status messages back to the caller at all. * address #11483: File::Fetch 0.07 cannot do an FTP fetch on Win32. FTP fetching using Net::FTP should now work properly on win32. * update test suite so it runs safely under PERL_CORE
