I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

get binary instead of text

I have a simple script to download a set of text files using www-mechanize get().

On an Win NT 4 machine, perl 5.8.8, www-mechanize 1.2, the download works.

On a Win Server 2003 machine, perl 5.8.8., www-mechanize 1.34 the files downloaded are all binary characters. I can paste URL into a browser on this machine & see the text.

Would appreciate advice or hints about how to get text. Thanks.
