I'd love to have something that was as good as GNU wget which is just unbelievably good at doing that sort of thing, with the only down-side being that it's a shell tool and not a Perl module. It has a lot of functionality that can be engaged with just a command-line switch, something that you'd have to write for yourself in Perl using most of the modules I'm familiar with.
If all you need to do is download images, that's the program to use. It might even be advantageous to make Perl generate the list for it to download, and then let it take care of the gory details.

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).
