This is a chunk I bodged together a while ago which might help. It gets the page generated by the url in $location and saves it on my local machine in $file. Please be warned that I don't really know what IO::Socket does, so your mileage may vary (or even the wheels may fall off). 
use IO::Socket;
use URI;
my $url = new URI( $location );
my $host = $url->host;
my $port = $url->port || 80;
my $path = $url->path || "/";
my $query = $url->query;
$path .= '?' . $query;
my $socket = new IO::Socket::INET (PeerAddr => $host, PeerPort => $por
+t, Proto => 'tcp') or die "cannot connect\n";
$socket->autoflush (1);
print $socket "GET $path HTTP/1.1\n", "Host: $host\n\n";
open (SAVE, ">$file");
print SAVE while (<$socket>);
$socket->close;
close SAVE;
