This may not really be a Perl question, in fact I suspect this related to a non-standard Apache configuration from one unusal site, but when I use the code below with the URL: http://www.nellaware.com/glujodat.html I get a 404. When I browse to it with any standard browser I get a page from a redirect. So, why doesn't my code, which has worked on thousands of addresses some of which have redirects, work here? 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

use LWP::UserAgent;

my $url = shift || die "No url supplied\n";

my $agent = new LWP::UserAgent;
my $request = new HTTP::Request 'GET' => $url;
my $result = $agent->request($request);

if ($result->is_success)
  {
    print $result->as_string;
  }
else
  {
    print "Error: " . $result->status_line . "\n";
  }<p>
