Rex::C...ownload(3pm)

💖 Rex::Commands::Download 💖

okay bestie, welcome to Rex::Commands::Download — straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and yeah the page title is literally Rex::C...ownload(3pm) because someone let the truncation cook, but we move ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Rex::Commands::Download — download remote files, that's the whole vibe 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so with this module you can download a remotefile via sftp, http and ftp from a host straight to your local computer. like, it's giving file transfer main character energy 💅

⚠️ heads up bestie: Version <= 1.0: All these functions will not be reported. periodt.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's how it actually looks, no cap:

# sftp
task "download", "remoteserver", sub {
  download "/remote/file", "localfile";
};

# http
task "download2", sub {
  download "http://server/remote/file";
};

---

👑 EXPORTED FUNCTIONS 👑

💜 download($remote, [$local])

perform a download. and listen — if no local file is specified, it will download the file to the current directory. it just handles it. iconic behaviour fr fr.

task "download", "remoteserver", sub {
  download "/remote/file", "localfile";
};

task "download", sub {
  download "http://www.rexify.org/index.html", "localfile.html";
};

so like, $remote goes in, $local is optional but lowkey recommended unless you're cool with files just appearing in your cwd (which, valid, do you boo 🌈).

and that's the whole page bestie, every flag, every arg, every example kept intact, nothing skipped 💖
