Try using getstore($url, $file).

use LWP::Simple;
my $url = 'http://website';
my $file = 'cony.html';

getstore($url, $file);

I tried these on the command line and they worked:

• ActiveState Perl in cmd.exe
  

  perl -MLWP::Simple -e "print getstore(\"http://localhost/
  \",\"x.html\")"
  

• And Cygwin Perl in bash.exe
  

  perl -MLWP::Simple -e 'print getstore("http://localhost/","x.html")'
  

note: this is from the POD docs for LWP::Simple.
