Hello dearest Monks,

i'm looking for the wisdom of shorthening my code: 
use LWP::Simple;
@a = <>;
getprint("http://LeWebsite.com?a=".($a[0])."&b=".($a[2]));

[download]
As You have noticed, i'm not interested in the second line, but it is required that the program takes 3 lines of input:

-a digit

-some bollox that You can skip in the program execution, but it will have to bypass/workaround/skip this line

-some more or less random characters, that have to be passed as argument.

I'm just a peasant in PERL, but I heard it's the best language to write shortest code, so i'm trying my luck with It.

Thank You in advance guys.

Update:

-I've checked the codes, and I've been able to use only the choroba's first code and at this place I'm really sorry that I didn't mention the STDIN input and chomp.

I found a workaround for chomp- I do it "serverside", my script on the site checks for newline symbols and replaces them

Anyway, thanks to You, dear Monks, my code is 14 chars shorter, and that's great progress, thank You!
