How about a Perl one-liner?:
perl -MLWP::Simple -e 'getprint "http://www.sn.no/libwww-perl/";'
or:
use LWP::Simple;
$doc = get 'http://www.sn.no/libwww-perl/';
Point is, there is (are) a module(s) for this (in case you don't know
enough Perl yet to get it, the module in question is called "LWP"). You
have no idea how advanced Perl already is in doing this. Saving a simple
web page is child's play.
I got these from this URL:
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/scripts/CPAN/doc/wwwman/libwww/lwpcook.html
which is a CPAN search.
How about getting every image on pages linked to from a certain Web page?
Or only those on linked to pages, that match a certain regex? Try Grabbage,
