cormanaz is right. This image site sometimes redirects images to an IP address when the servers are getting high traffic. I need to be able to load the original image URL and detect whether or not it's going to redirect me. If so, I need to know what the address is of the image.

This is my current set up. 

foreach my $pic (@pics)
{
   my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
   $mech->agent_alias( 'Windows IE 6' );
   $mech->get($pic);
   my $location = $mech->uri();

   push(@final_pics, "$location");
   print "\ntesting $pic with location $location";

}
