As far as grabbing pictures, I have found that LWP::Simple will get them as it apparently ( and someone please correct me if I'm wrong here ) grabs the entire page, code and graphics.
I will correct you on this one. :)
LWP::Simple does *not* in itself grab it all. If you point it at a HTML page, it will grab the HTML. If you point it directly at an image, it will grab the image. The HTML may contain image tags (something like: <img src="image.gif" />), and browsers will automatically follow the urls given there and fetch the images too. LWP::Simple will not - if that is the way you want it, you will need to parse the HTML for those URL:s and continue to fetch. Or you use an already invented wheel, like Image::Grab suggested by wil above. :)
You have moved into a dark place.
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
