Hi All

I apreciate if anybody help me in this little problem... I just want to store an image from a url in a variable, but sometimes anything go wrong, and the routine can't open the url...so i create this code:

$size = 0; use LWP::Simple; while ($size == 0) { my $data2 = LWP::Simple::get $site; my $size = length($data2); print "$size\n"; }

My wish is that, when the image are really stored in variable $data, the loop stop, and the programe continue... but my problem is that the loop is continually looping..

Somebody can help me?
