Any ideas how to open a remote file (image to be exact) without any
modules involved (like LWP)?

1) Define "remote"

2) Why?

Is the remote system on which the file is stored running a web server
or any other type of file sharing service such as NFS, FTP, SMB, or
SSH?

If it is running a web server, then you can open a socket to the system
on port 80, send an appropriate GET command, and read the response.
However, it might get a little tricky to parse the reponse since it
will contain binary data.

Can you explain why you don't want to use a module?
