Saving an image using OLE Internet Explorer

streko has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dearest Monks,

I am currently in search of an answer to this question which has been plague to my recent programming developments.
I need to save an image using OLE, basically a right click and save type function. The image is generated on the fly and there is no cache of the image in internet explorers cache folder at all. Is there anyway to target this location or image and save it using OLE? The source of the page looks like So...

<td class="vertDividerLine" valign="top">
            <img src="/image/optik?RNVUdjPTH20pPHJDUtEqXF-5O6AQnFIYEWQ
+xiDetgtn35GJ1_6q7MeHS7i_Nnb2OWoHFgvpz5_iTjLqM" border="1"><br>
            <br>
            <table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" width="9
+5%">
[download]

As you can guess this part...
optik?RNVUdjPTH20pPHJDUtEqXF-5O6AQnFIYEWQxiDetgtn35GJ1_6q7MeHS7i_Nnb2OWoHFgvpz5_iTjLqM Is generated on the fly.

Thanks in advance.

anyone please lend a hand? im banging my head against the wall

Just curious - why OLE? why not LWP or WWW::Mechanize? Do you want to save the image or explore OLE? --shmem _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.

LWP & WWW:Mech are both command line, we are looking for more of a GUI approach.	[reply]
