I am trying something new as I have a proxy to the internet for the first time. I need to download some JPG files and have written the following to do the work and it is downloading something but they are not valid JPG files. I am doing this on Win32.

Anyone have thoughts on what I am doing wrong? 

#!perl.exe

use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize;
use HTTP::Cookies;

use LWP;
use LWP::DebugFile;
require HTTP::Request;

my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies->new(
      file          => 'cookies.dat',
      autosave      => 1,
      hide_cookie2  => 1
           );

my $bot = WWW::Mechanize->new;
$bot->max_redirect(100);
$bot->cookie_jar($cookie_jar);
$bot->proxy('http', 'http://proxy.company.com:80/');
$bot->proxy('https', 'http://proxy.company.com:443/');
$bot->no_proxy('localhost', 'company.com');
$bot->credentials('DOMAIN\user','pwd');
$bot->agent('Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.
+3) Gecko/20060426 Firefox/1.5.0.3');

my $x = 0;
foreach $x (1..15) {
    my $url = "http://www.website.com/image$x.jpg";
    print "Processing: $url\n";
    my $response = $bot->get($url);
    my $content = $bot->content;
    open F, ">image$x.jpg";
    print F $content;
    close F;
}
