Thanks for all of your help on my last question dealing with saving text data off a web page. Here comes my next dilemma. When I am saving an html page, which requires a username/password, I use the following module: 
use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$req = HTTP::Request->new(GET=> 'http://www.linpro.no/secret/');
  $req->authorization_basic('aas', 'mypassword');
  print $ua->request($req)->as_string;

When it saves the web page to a file, I get the correct page, but on the very top of the page, is this code 
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Connection: close Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2013 20:54:15 GMT 
+Pragma: no-cache Content-Length: 186386 Content-Type: text/html Clien

How do you get rid of that?
