Problem running multiple lwp-download commands from a Windows batch file

Dear All,

This surely must be a FAQ or at least a known bug but according to
Google (web and groups) it isn't, so please bear with me...

I'm using ActivePerl 5.8 under Windows 2000 [1]

I wish to download about 50-odd PDF files from a web-site. I have the
URLs of all of them so I created a Windows .BAT file containing 50-odd
lines, each of the form:

lwp-download "http://www.example.com/path/file.pdf" file.pdf

When I run the .BAT file from a command window, it executes the first
lwp-download command perfectly, saving a working PDF file, and then
stops.

No matter what I do it always terminates execution of the batch file
after the first lwp-download. I tried changing them to GETs instead but
the same thing happens.

Is there a work-around and if so what is it?

Thanks in advance.

[1] And have been for a while so if it's an installation problem then
sorry, but I can't remember what options I chose. :-)
