If you just want the codes (as you say) just read the header....If you want an HTTP::Response Object just create one by splitting the return into header and content. Parse the header ( All in form Key: Value\n - should unwrap soft line breaks first with s/\n^\s+//gm first ) then build your HTTP::Response object out of the parsed header and content. Note HTTP::Response is a subclass of HTTP::Message which also uses HTTP::Headers so you will have to read the (brief) docs for all of these. Data::Dumper will show you the Response object which is just a hash of hashes structure. 

C:\>type test.pl
use IO::Socket::INET;

$get = 'www.perl.org';

$sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr => $get,
                              PeerPort => 'http(80)',
                              Proto    => 'tcp');

print $sock "GET http://$get HTTP/1.0\015\012\015\012";
read( $sock, $chopped_header , 100);
close $sock;

my ( $rc, $msg ) = $chopped_header =~ m/HTTP[^\s]+\s+(\d+)\s+([^\n]+)/
+;
print "$chopped_header.....[blah]\n\n";
print "RC=$rc and MSG=$msg\n";

C:\>perl test.pl
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Date: Sun, 30 Mar 2003 11:59:58 GMT
Server: Apache/2.0.44-dev (Unix) DAV/2
