Thanks for your reply. I switched over to LWP::UserAgent and successfully used the following code

my $url = 'https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.x
+ml?025a000c2e476c719095c900b9c8b5e4';

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(
  ssl_opts => { SSL_verify_mode => 'SSL_VERIFY_NONE'},
);

   $ua->agent('Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.12; Mac_PowerPC)' );

my $response = $ua->get($url);
 
if ($response->is_success) {
    print $response->decoded_content;  # or whatever
}
else {
    die $response->status_line;
}
