20100409 Janitored by Corion: Added formatting, code tags, as per Writeup Formatting Tips

First off, please edit your code so that the Perl code is between <code> and </code> tags.

Then please explain what you are asking for. Your code seems to connect to SharePoint as if it were a web browser and tries to download files from a particular page. Is that correct? I'm guessing that when you use Internet Explorer and use your credentials for accessing the SharePoint site you see a paticularlist of files. What happens when you run your script? Are there any debugging messages? I also don't see the ever popular

use strict;
use warnings;

which helps identify many problems with Perl code. Did you write this code, or simply copy it from example without understanding what it is trying to do?

Thanks!! Below code is working fine to move the files from sharepoint to local directory if know the file names.(@names). But now I have the new requirement to move the files to local directory without knowing the file names. These file names also needs to get from the html code. My idea is to put sharepoint content into html. Search for current date in html and take the file name before that date and put into a variable and then check that file date and name in existing table if it is newer file and date then move the file. I am asking you guys how to get the file names...

But some how i am not able to get idea to know the file name. I would really appreciate he you guys could help me on this.

Um, read the sharepoint documentation
