Hmm. Can't say I agree. 
  I use a program called WebCopy. It runs on top if libwww so I don't
think it should be very hard to get it working on a Mac with
Mac-Libwww. Given the functionality of libwww, writing your own
shouldn't be infeasible, either. 
  Check out <URL:ftp://ftp.inf.utfsm.cl/pub/utfsm/perl/webcopy.tgz>
(yup, that's in Chile).
  I believe the home for Mac-libwww should still be somewhere near 
<ftp://mors.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/MacPerl/libwww-perl-0.40/> but surely
somebody will correct me if this is up the creek. 

Hope this helps,
