#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
# use strict;
# use warnings;

[download]

That should be: 

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

if($#ARGV != 1)

[download]

That is usually written as: 

if(@ARGV != 2)

[download]

chomp(@ARGV);

[download]

There is no need to chomp the @ARGV array! 


$dirname =~ s/\/$//g;
$output  =~ s/\/$//g;

[download]

You are anchoring the pattern to the end of the string so the /g option is superfluous. 


mkdir $output if (-d $output ==0);

[download]

That would usually be written as: 

mkdir $output or die "mkdir $output: $!" unless -d $output;
