So, what do you exactly mean by capture? If you mean putting the file on your disk then it's even simpler:

Code

#!/bin/perl -w 
use LWP::Simple; 
print get shift;

Save this as getpic.pl and use the script like:

Code

getpic.pl http://path.to/pic.jpg >local.jpg

If you use Windows, you'll have to set standard output to binary mode:

Code

#!/bin/perl -w 
use LWP::Simple; 
binmode STDOUT; 
print get shift;

Hope this helps.
