in reply to Pulling an image

The easiest is probably to do:

use LWP::Simple;
getstore ' http://perlmonks.org/images/monasterygatestitle2.jpg', 
         'monasterygatestitle2.jpg ';

And you can do perldoc lwpcook for more info

    Rather than using getstore, if you're always gonna be dropping it into the same file, use mirror (same syntax). This permits the webserver to reply with a "304 error" and no data transfer if you've already got the most up-to-date version of the file, and also sets the modtime of the file to the "last-modified" header so you have a clue as to the document's age.
