down_pdb.pl perl program made by me. Can be used for downloading pdb files (either one file or many files) and their fasta files also (if user wants)


works on linux like operating systems (as it uses "wget" to download files)


useful for bioinformatics.


Very user friendly


examples:
(1)
perl down_pdb.pl 1x8v (or simply ./down_pl if executable permissions are given)
        OR
perl down_pdb.pl 1x8v.pdb


downloads 1x8v.pdb file in the directory where you execute this program.


(2)
a file named list (or any other name) containing many pdb file names to download
1x8v
1e9x
102d


or 


1x8v.pdb
1e9x.pdb
102d.pdb


perl down_pdb.pl list


downloads the above 3 files in the directory where you execute this program
