I uploaded WWW::RapidShare version 0.1 to CPAN today. WWW::RapidShare is a Perl module which you can use to download files from rapidshare.com. Currently, only premium accounts are supported. More features coming soon!

Here’s a simple Perl script to download a file. You need to know the entire URL and of course your Rapidshare account ID and password.

use WWW::RapidShare;

my $rapid = WWW::RapidShare->new();

$rapid->url(’http://rapidshare.com/files/file.zip’);
$rapid->account_id(’xxxxxx’);
$rapid->password(’xxxxxx’);

# Download the file associated with the above URL.
# It will be saved in current directory.
$rapid->download_file();

This should work on both Windows and Linux distros.

I also updated the Finance::Bank::HDFC module to version 0.13, which fixes some dependencies.
