Tested 2016-03-18 on Lubuntu - Tested and works for instagram, but I couldn't get proper filenames.

Can't locate JSON/Any.pm in @INC (you may need to install the JSON::Any module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.18.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.18 /usr/share/perl/5.18 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at ./galdown.pl line 43.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./galdown.pl line 43 (#1)
    (F) You said to do (or require, or use) a file that couldn't be found.
    Perl looks for the file in all the locations mentioned in @INC, unless
    the file name included the full path to the file.  Perhaps you need
    to set the PERL5LIB or PERL5OPT environment variable to say where the
    extra library is, or maybe the script needs to add the library name
    to @INC.  Or maybe you just misspelled the name of the file.  See
    "require" in perlfunc and lib.
    
Uncaught exception from user code:
	Can't locate JSON/Any.pm in @INC (you may need to install the JSON::Any module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.18.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.18 /usr/share/perl/5.18 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at ./galdown.pl line 43.

\sudo  \apt-get  install  libjson-perl

.. this didn't help.

Maybe I can install the cpan module myself. I haven't done this in so long that I had to look it up. Perhaps the fucktardedly-verbose error message should have given a hint.

\cpan

(then I pressed <enter> a bunch of times)

I was given a cpan[1]> prompt, and I decided to blindly do install JSON::Any. It seemed to work after restarting my shell.

It just gave me a bunch of garbage files. Examining its source code, I saw a recommendation for exiftool.

\sudo  \apt-get  install  libimage-exiftool-perl

This didn't change anything. I am left with a bunch of files like:

001.2
002.2
003.2
004.l
005.2
006.l
007.l
008.2
009.l
010.2
011.2
012.2
013.2
014.l
015.l
016.l
017.l
018.l
019.l
020.l
021.2

I could rename them and view them, so this is some issue with exiftools I guess. I did not investigate further.
