If you need to figure out the web content, you should probably use HTML::Parser on data from LWP::Simple (or other LWP modules).
You can then trap anchors (<a href>) and find out which one you want, or something of the sort.
a useless example: 
use HTML::Parser;
use LWP::Simple qw(get);

my $url = 'http://www.perlmonks.org/';
my @links;

my $parser = new HTML::Parser( # make a new parser
    api_version => 3,
    start_h => [ sub { push @links, pop @{$_[0]} }, 'tokens' ], # stac
+k the url part of the anchor tag to @links
);
$parser->report_tags("a"); # only handle a tags

$parser->parse(get($url)); # parse perlmonks.org

print join("\n",@links); # print all links from the root page
