Here is the code that shows the way I was trying to save the file.I'll try using the function that you suggested and see if it solves my problem and I'm guessing that it will. Thanks 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w




use LWP::UserAgent;


$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->agent('Mozilla/5.0');
my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'http://sight.com/action.php?id=u1
+VInM4D');
$req->content_type('audio/x-mpeg');

# Pass request to the user agent and get a response back
my $res = $ua->request($req);


# Check the outcome of the response
if ($res->is_success) {

open FH, ">file.mp3";
print FH $res->content;
close FH;

 }
