What have you tried? What didn't work? After nearly 200 posts, you should really be offering more in a question. You can grab the image using LWP::UserAgent. You can write the file using open and print after setting binmode on the file handle.	[reply]

LWP::Simple + `getstore("url");` should be able to do that in a one-liner.	[reply] [d/l]

Perhaps I don't understand the question but can't you just LWP::Simple and it's `getstore` method? If you want something else or I have misunderstood what you're trying to do perhaps a better description of what you need to achieve would help.	[reply] [d/l]

`$ wget http://domain...../xyz.img` [download] HTH. HAND.	[reply] [d/l]

Seconded. There is no point monkeying around with some other solution when wget just works (on linux). On Windows, you need to supply a wget binary yourself, and on OS X, use curl. Finding (and bundling, if you distribute the code) a wget binary is not that big a deal though.	[reply]

`wget` is available for OS X using `ports`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
