Thank you for your swift response. Do you mean using LWP's get method like this?

use strict;
use GD;
use CGI;
use LWP::Simple qw(get);

my $image_web = get('http://www.funnyandjokes.com/pictures/images/bush
+_lord-of-the-rings.jpg');
$image = GD::Image->newFromJpegData($image_web);
my $black = $image->colorResolve(0,0,0);
$image->string(gdGiantFont,2,10,"Eat More Hobbits!",$black);
open(FILE, ">text1.jpg") || die "Cannot open text1.jpg: $!\n";
print FILE $image->jpeg;

If this code is correct, then I should be able to use the resulting image in the cgi generated html by simply using this tag: 

 <img src="text1.jpg">

Is this correct?

Thank you again!

UPDATE: Thank you all, I just managed to fix it! Thank you very much for pointing me towards LWP!
