I want to grab an image off of wiki; I know the URL works as I can test it in my browser, but if I try the following, I get HTTP 400 Bad Request. 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
#use autodie;
#use diagnostics;

use LWP::Simple;

print getstore("/upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fa/Fla
+g_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China.svg/23px-Flag_of_the_People%27s
+_Republic_of_China.svg.png", "23px-Flag_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of
