Working with http pictures

[zackiv31]

I want to download jpg images from the internet here is the format:

http://www.somesite.com/p.asp?what=large/20060726060000.jpg

I included the .asp part just in case it matters.... How can I work with http sites to download all of the jpgs? I will effectively be trying a bunch of files with similar timestamps to get them all.


So all I need is how to take a

and save it through perl..

Thanks in advance

try this:

use LWP::UserAgent;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $response =  $ua->get('[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.perl.org/simages/lcamel.gif');[/URL]
die "Unable to retrieve image." unless ($response->is_success);
print "Content-type: image/jpeg\n\n";
print $response->content;

Let us know your results!

Well it does something... doesn't throw an error... but after running it my command prompt goes crazy.. its like its trying to print it out or something, i want to save it to a file...

this is some of the crap i get...
?????:
??[????????@????????? ????]$
[????????@????????? ????]$

Got it...

Instead of printing the content... i just printed it to a file:

open(file,">out.jpg");
print file $response->content;
close file;


THANKS!

hehehe, printing a jpg file to the console is not very effective.
