REQUEST_METHOD = GET And..if I take your code, what am I supposed to substitute? Remember that the URL needs to by dynamic so that I can enter any web address in the browser web address. 
my $q = new CGI;

How do I call my .pl script in the browser to call on the URL I am requesting? Is it like this? 
http://webserver/cgi-bin/myscript.pl?URL=http://www.google.com
