Just download all linked images too, and all CSS files. See WWW::Mechanize`->images`.	[reply] [d/l]

I have found this code in the `WWW::Mechanize::Firefox` documentation: Fetch a page to a file with all images `use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox; my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Firefox->new( tab => 'current', ); $mech->get('http://google.com'); $mech->save_content('google_com.html', 'google_com files');` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

what are you getting when you run it (any error messages)? Did you have any problems installing WWW::Mechanize::Firefox? Do you have the Mozrepl plugin for firefox? You need to install that to communicate with firefox.	[reply]

If you want to download an entire web-page with all the images and you are on UNIX/Linux then I recommend using "wget -m YOUR_URL_HERE". If you want to do it in Perl I guess you can use WWW::Mechanize to find and follow the image links and download them locally. You will still need a browser to render the page in the end.	[reply]

What code are you using currently? True laziness is hard work	[reply]

Fetch a page to a file with all images
