Dealing with Binary/PDF files.

Hi There,

We have an existing cgi script that can convert a text file to pdf. I want to write an perl script to mimic making an http call to the cgi script and then taking the PDF file that it returns and saving it someplace as a file or e-mailing it.

The question is once I execute my http call via:
$res = $ua->request($req)

How do I take what is in $res (which will be the binary representation of the PDF file) and manipulate it?

Thank You!!!
