Thanks - I managed to get it working with: 

 
    # now lets actually get the image..
     my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
        $ua->timeout(10);
        $ua->env_proxy;
 
     my $response = $ua->get($image);
 
     if ($response->is_success) {
        
         #print $response->content;  # or whatever

         open(WRITEIT,">$save_to") || die qq|Cant write to $save_to, r
+eason: $!|;
            binmode WRITEIT;
            print WRITEIT $response->content;
        close(WRITEIT);
         
        my ($x,$y) = imgsize($save_to);

        print qq|Got sizes: $x x $y \n|;

        return ($x,$y,$save_to_url);
        

     } else {
        # save a bad status...
         return (0,0,undef);
      }

(just in case anyone else comes across this issue :)
