You dont need to work on that low of a level. Check this out:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
open(CHARTFILE, "> /home/trwww/public_html/vanessa.jpg") or die("open
failed: $!");
binmode( CHARTFILE ); # to be portable
print CHARTFILE
get('http://www.z957.net/html/concertcal/images/vanessa-carlton.jpg');
close( CHARTFILE );
The power is in get(). It fetches only document content and discards http
headers.
then I type http://localhost/~trwww/vanessa.jpg in my browser and get to
look at her beautiful face ;0)
