$client = WWW::YouTube::Download->new;

Output filename is set to {video_id}.{suffix} by default.
{video_id}.{suffix}
file_name

fmt

The video_url_map has one key/value pair for each available format, where the key is the format identifier (can be used as fmt parameter for "download", for example) and the value is a hash reference with the following data:
the format specifier, that can be passed to "download"
resolution
the resolution as widthxheight
the suffix, providing a hint about the video format (e.g. webm, flv, ...)
