while i presume this will work, i shall also assume you've overlooked the fact that illiad likes to trip people up with his cataloging system for the script. by my count it has changed 4 times (maybe 3) since the start of UF, therefore, while this code does make a nasty call to lynx that could prolly be done better with lwp or something it is a bit safer, less he change it again 
        $imagetag = 0;
        open(INFILE, "lynx -source http://www.userfriendly.org/static/
+|");
        while (<INFILE>) {
                next if $image;
                if (/.*(IMG ALT\=\"Latest Strip\" height\=219 width\=5
+76 BORDER\=0 SRC\=\"http:\/\/www.userfriendly.org\/cartoons\/archives
+\/.+<\/A>).*/) {
                        $imagetag = $1;
                        if ($imagetag =~ /.* ALT\s*=\s*"Latest Strip" 
+.*/i) {
                                if ($imagetag =~ /.*(\/cartoons\/archi
+ves\/.+f).*/i) {
                                        $image = $1;
                                        $image =~ s/xuf/uf/;
                                        `lynx -source http://www.userf
+riendly.org$image > ufieimage.gif`;
                                        # i like jpgs, deal.
                                        `convert ufieimage.gif ufieima
+ge.jpg`;
                                        unlink("ufieimage.gif");
                                }
                        }
