This task is handled by the LWP::Simple module (libwww-perl) so you can test whether the path is actually accessible using: perl -MLWP::Simple -e "get '$path'" in your case perl -MLWP::Simple -e "get 'http://127.0.0.1:3142/ftp.it.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/glibc/libc6_2.6.1-6_arm.deb'" http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/libwww-perl-5.808/lib/LWP/Simple.pm I suspect that something in your local arrangement is preventing LWP from working on that URL. Maybe try using port 80. > It just creates a file with the correct name, but empty.
