There are modules for this which could be easily found. Always be sure to search CPAN first--its all been done by someone before :) Image::Grab _______________________________________________________ `s&&q+\+blah+&oe&&s<hlab>}map{s}&&q+}}+;;s;\+;;g;y;ahlb;veaD;&&print;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Install Bundle::LWP (if it isn't already installed). Then run the following: `GET http://www.example.com/icons/foo.png >myfoo.png` [download] ...and you're done. Next question please. update: this response is a bit a "give a man a fish" instead of "teach a man to fish". So, in the interest of completeness, should you find that GET is a little too rudimentary, I suggest you read 'perldoc lwpcook', which gives you all sorts of recipes for downloading web objects. -- `g r i n d e r`	[reply] [d/l]
