[TriLUG] curl vs wget

[William Sutton]

port blocking at $WORK?  I know we have a corporate filter which requires 
signing on to open the ports.  Kinda sucks when one wants to add Perl 
modules to ActiveState and has to go to the ActiveState web site so that 
the coporate filter allows the non-browser network traffic.
