in thread Program that will grep website for specified keyword

Well you're going to grab a full web page using LWP::Simple, which includes the graphics. At least that is what I discovered, I could be wrong. Check the LWP module docs to make sure, but as I recall, using the get(www.myhost.com) will pull everything whereas using lynx just pulls text, but you're down to using a system call to use lynx as opposed to the module.

    LWP::Simple does not do that unless you tell it too... 
    #!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::Simple;

my $res_code = getstore('http://www.perlmonks.org/','index.html');

die "Download failed! Response code is $res_code.\n" if $res_code != 2
+00;

      Okay, I stand corrected. I was just using it as get(www.myhost.com) without specifiying a file to grab. Thanks for pointing that out. As soon as I get a few free moments I'm going to explore that. Should speed my app quite a bit. :)
