missing command

If this comes across as a newbie question...I apologize. i simply don't  
know the answer. I recently installed Fedora 13. I'm used to using "wget"  
and "GET". When trying to run a few of my old scripts I found that "wget"  
and "GET" were not installed. I was able to install "wget" by using "yum  
install wget". This does not work with "GET". Can someone point me to the  
correct package that may include "GET"? Thanks in advance for any  
assistance.

sudo yum -y install perl-libwww-perl-5.834-1.fc13.noarch

will give you GET.

$ rpm -q --whatprovides `which GET`
perl-libwww-perl-5.834-1.fc13.noarch

So something like "yum install perl-libwww-perl" should work.

Or, for something that works even if you don't have the proper package
installed already:

$ sudo repoquery --whatprovides '*/GET'
perl-libwww-perl-0:5.834-1.fc13.noarch

or

$ yum provides '*/GET'
