help: downloading online files with perl

I am trying to write a script that downloads a file from a website
everyday.

Can I just use the copy command (i.e. use File::Copy)?

Does it support URI?

I wrote something like below, but it does not seem to
work.
use File::Copy;
copy(www.abc.com\abc.pdf, "C:\myfolder\") or die "File cannot be
copied.";
Is there a better way to do this?

Sorry, it seems like a very easy thing to do, but I am doing something
wrong...
