Download a HTML page with images?

Hi,

I am wanting to download or mirror a series of individual HTML pages,
not a whole site. How do you do this with perl? I have looked at LWP
mirror and w3mir neither of which seem to do this. mirror does not
download assocated images, w3mir insists on placing everything at the
root and does not have an option to download a single page with images,
style sheets etc.

Instead of trying to reimplement this in Perl, why not use the GNU wget
program?  'wget -p http://example.dns/page.html' should do it.

(The -p option "causes Wget to download all the files that are
necessary to properly display a given HTML page.  This includes such
things as inlined images, sounds, and referenced stylesheets.")

Thanks very much; available for UNIX and Windows as well, that will
do nicely! I guess I am so used to being able to do everything in Perl
that I did not properly consider the alternatives :-)
