you'll need to build a regexp that fetches all the image files, and then an
lwp thingie that goes and retrieves them
think of something like this:
### $res->content is the return value of a LWP request
my @images = $res->content =~ |<img.+?src=\"?(.+?)\"|sig;
you'll have to add a sanity check to see if the matches you get are full
paths, or relative paths tho.
then say something like:
for (@images) {
my $url = ... #something with $_ and a sanity check for path
$req = new HTTP::Request('GET', $url);
# then do whatever you want with your images... remmeber you pobably
need binmode set if you want to do something with them in perl
}
