Greetings, I'm trying to download book covers from www.netlibrary.com, my problem is that most of the images I download are unreadable garbage, however, certain ones get through just fine. Heres some example code: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use LWP::UserAgent;

my $ROBOT = LWP::UserAgent->new();
my $response = $ROBOT->get("http://a1835.g.akamai.net/f/1835/276/3h/ww
+w.netlibrary.com/covers/158/800/158800.gif");
open(FILE, ">test.gif");
binmode FILE;
binmode stdout;
print FILE $response->content();
close FILE;

[download]
I'm running Fedora so the binmodes should have no effect, correct? I've also tried 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use LWP::Simple qw/getstore/;

getstore("http://a1835.g.akamai.net/f/1835/276/3h/www.netlibrary.com/c
+overs/158/800/158800.gif", "test2.gif");

[download]
with the same results. Some images such as this one get downloaded just fine. Any idea what's going on here?
