I want to grab an image off of wiki; I know the URL works as I can test it in my browser, but if I try the following,
I get HTTP 400 Bad Request.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
#use autodie;
#use diagnostics;
use LWP::Simple;
print getstore("/upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fa/Fla
+g_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China.svg/23px-Flag_of_the_People%27s
+_Republic_of_China.svg.png", "23px-Flag_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of
+_China.svg.png");
Output:
Can't locate LWP/Simple.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
