I think you may prefer the easier Image::Grab which has a really easy to use interface and easy commands.

Here is your code written over(in the way I would write it :).

sub get_object{
    use Image::Grab qw(grab);
    my($agent, $url, $referer, $save_path) = @_; 
    my($request, $response, $content);
    
    $content = grab("$url");    
    $save_path ? 
    print("Getting picture: $url...")
     :     print("Getting info from $url\n");
    
    return($content) unless ($save_path);
    open(OUT, ">$save_path") or die("Couldn\'t open picturefile to sav
+e: $!");
    binmode(OUT);        
    print(OUT $content);         
    close(OUT);
            
}
