Reading URL using Mechanize and dump all the contents of the URL to a file
Hello,
Am very new to perl , please help me here !!

I need help in reading a URL from command line using PERL:: Mechanize and needs all the contents from the URL to get into a file.

below is the script which i have written so far ,

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use LWP::UserAgent;
use WWW::Mechanize;
use WWW::DecodedContent;
use LWP::Debug qw( + );
use HTTP::Headers ;
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( autocheck => 1 );
$mech->status();
print "Am inside Mechanize\n" ;

my $content = $mech->decoded_content || $mech->content;
#$mech->response()->decoded_content();
$ua->default_header("Accept-Encoding" => "gzip, deflate");
#$mech = WWW::Mechanize->new ;
$ua->agent("Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)");
#$ua->default_header("Accept-Encoding" => "gzip, deflate");
$mech->get( "http://zzzzzzzzzURLzzzzzzzz" );
my $test = $mech->forms();
die "Can't even get the home page: ", $mech->response->status_line
unless $mech->success;

$mech->status();
$mech->uri();
 if ($response->is_success) {
   print "\n i am in finally";
   }
   else {
          die $response->status_line;
 }

Please feel free to provide some suggestion on changing the original script ,this is my first draft of code.

where as am getting an error " Can't call method "default_header" on an undefined value at getjan23.pl line 14. "

please let me know what am missing.

Thanks in advance

NAME

       WWW::Mechanize::Link - Link object for WWW::Mechanize

SYNOPSIS

       Link object to encapsulate all the stuff that Mech needs but nobody wants to deal with as an array.

Constructor
   new()
	   my $link = WWW::Mechanize::Link->new( {
	       url  => $url,
	       text => $text,
	       name => $name,
	       tag  => $tag,
	       base => $base,
	       attr => $attr_href,
	   } );

       For compatibility, this older interface is also supported:

	new( $url, $text, $name, $tag, $base, $attr_href )

       Creates and returns a new "WWW::Mechanize::Link" object.

Accessors

   $link->name()

   $link->base()

       Returns hash ref of all the attributes and attribute values in the tag.

   $link->URI()
