that was my first tack, and I thought I was on the right track, but what I ended up with using getstore() was files that kind of thought they were jpg's and kind of thought they were html docs. Here's the script I used:

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


use LWP::Simple;  

open FILE, "text1.txt" or die $!;


my $url;
my $text;

while (<FILE>)
{
$text = $_;

$url = 'http://www.nobeliefs.com/nazis/' . $text;
$text =~ s#images/##;
print "$url\n";
print "$text\n";

getstore($url, $text) or die "Can't download: $@\n";

}

an ls command shows question marks: 

$ ls
...
prayingHitler.jpg?
PraysingCelebration.jpg?
priests-salute.jpg?
received.jpg
reichchurch.gif?
...

and when I open up a jpg it looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http:/
+/www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<style type="text/css">

    width: 80px;

}

.fb {

    width:43%;

    float:left;

    text-align:center;

    margin:5px 20px 5px 20px;

    padding:20px 0 20px 0px;

    background:#eef8fd;

    height:110px;

    border:solid 1px #dff4fe;

}

.fb2 {

    width:43%;

    float:right;

    text-align:center;

    margin:5px 20px 5px 20px;

I think the trick might be to find a way to define $params such that this works, but I haven't been able to do that yet. (I only get errors)

my $data = LWP::Simple::get $params{URL};
my $filename = "image.jpg";
open (FH, ">$filename");
binmode (FH);
print FH $data;
close (FH);
