Hallo, Chris!
Oh, in this library "getstore" is more matching I suppose.
Thank you!

Which way could more correct to produce such operation?
The standard library for writing web clients -- which, in this
context, your web server is acting as -- is LWP. The LWP::Simple
module may be the easiest way to do this:
use LWP::Simple;
$image = get("http://www.sample.url/images/sample.jpg");
die "Couldn't get it!" unless defined $image;
At that point, just write the contents of $image to a file.
See the LWP::Simple perldoc for more info, or the LWP docs:
<http://search.cpan.org/dist/libwww-perl/lib/LWP/Simple.pm>
Or see the e-book _Web Client Programming with Perl_ by Clinton Wong:
<http://www.oreilly.com/openbook/webclient/>
It's a bit old, but still covers the basics.
