2. Copy download.pl  to the location you want to download the files (e.g. /home/Documents/PingER)
3. Through your commnad line interface type: perl [path to download.pl]/download.pl -d [number of days]
   
   1. -d specifies how many days to go back in time. For example -d 3 will download files related to the previous three days.
