I want to download a script from the MSYS vanilla environment.
On Linux, I would do
wget <url>
On Mac OS X, I would do
curl -O <url>
Unfortunately, none of these alternatives is available in the default MSYS installation. I also tried using the module LPW::Simplein Perl, but apparently it is not installed by default.
Are there any tools that come with the default MSYS environment that can be used for this?
I could always tell the end user that he downloads the file himself, but this defeats the goal of having everything “just work” with minimal need for installing additional software.
