Good day fellow monks. I am having trouble with what I thought would be a simple task, getting a web image and saving it to a file using LWP. My first attempt: 
use feature ':5.10';
use LWP::UserAgent;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $response = $ua->get('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ENIAC-chan
+ging_a_tube.jpg');
if ($response->is_success) {
    my $content = $response->decoded_content;
    open(OUT,">c:/temp/test.jpg") or die "Can't open output: $!";
    binmode OUT;
    print OUT $content;
    close OUT;
}
else {
    say "Fail"
}

[download]
resulted in a successful get and a file written with "wide character" warning, but the file was not renderable.

So then I tried another method that I thought was designed for this very task: 

use LWP::Simple;
my $success = getstore('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ENIAC-chang
+ing_a_tube.jpg','c:\temp\test.jpg');
say $success;

[download]
It gave a completion code of 200, no wide char warning, but also an unrenderable file.

I would prefer to use LWP:UserAgent for this rather then LWP::Simple since I want to get the images in the context of some other web retrieval. What am I doing wrong?
