I am using LWP::Simple to grab content from a page, and parse the data for exchange rates.

The url of the page is: https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml?025a000c2e476c719095c900b9c8b5e4

If I go to the page in my browser I can see the (xml) content. Using the script it is not getting the content. Why might this be? (It used to work!). 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser warningsToBrowser);
use CGI ':standard';
use LWP::Simple;

my $address = 'https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-dai
+ly.xml?025a000c2e476c719095c900b9c8b5e4';

my $content = get("$address");
die "Couldn't get it!" unless defined $content;

print "Content-type:text/html\n\n"; 
print $content;
