URL::Grab

=========

URL::Grab is a perl module that drastically simplifies the fetching of files.

It is designed to be used in programs that need common (but not necessarily

simple) url-fetching features. It is extremely simple to drop into an

existing program and provides a clean interface to protocol-independant

file-access. Best of all, URL::Grab takes care of all those pesky

file-fetching details, and lets you focus on whatever it is that your program

is written to do!

URL::Grab came into existence as the part of Config::YUM that downloads remote

yum-configs and header files, but it quickly became clear that this is a

general problem that many applications must deal with. 

Yes, URL::Grab has been heavily inspired by the famous Python urlgrabber. :-)
