Have have a small program using LWP to do a Post. The response is XML. Here is my program... 
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common qw(POST);

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new() || die "Unable to create new UserAgent 
+object";
my $url = 'http://cosmias02d.mwh.com:7778/reports/rwservlet';
my %form_data = (
   SERVER       => 'repcosmias02d',
   USERID       => 'mwh/prahd@dev',
   REPORT       => 'ap_daily_jrnl.rep',
   DESTYPE      => 'PRINTER',
   DESNAME      => 'cohpisd012',
   DESFORMAT    => 'hplwide',
   STATUSFORMAT => 'xml'
);
my $request = POST($url, \%form_data);
my $response = $ua->request($request);
$response->remove_header();
$content = $response->as_string();
print "$content\n";

What is the best way to strip off the header section so I can pass the xml document into an xml parser?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
