Save a picture

[Nashtrump1]

Hi there,

Im spidering a website and doing well so far.
I need to save pictures that i come across so i can see what the data im extracting relates to.

Does anyone know of a way or a module that saves pictures?

Ive googled it but cant find anything.

Kind regards

Nash

If you plan to create a spider use the WWW::Mechanize module.

Just get the picture file like you get anything else. When you save it, use binmode. Example with LWP-Simple

use LWP::Simple;

my $picture_binary = get "[URL unfurl="true"]http://domain.com/logo.gif";[/URL]

open (SAVE, "./local_copy.gif");
binmode SAVE;
print SAVE $picture_binary;
close (SAVE);
