Hi, I'm hoping someone can offer insite to this issue. I'm using libwww library to retrieve a tab delimited text file through HTTP. I needed to do this since there is basic authentication, plus I need to check header information such as status and document title. The request is printed to an output file. However, I do not want the header to be printed. Is there any way to supress this? Here's a sample of what I'm doing: 
$req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $myrequeststring);
$req->authorization_basic('username','password');
$res = $ua->request($req);

#Check the request
if ($res->is_success) {
    print OUT $ua->request($req)->as_string;
} else {
    print STDOUT "Error: " . $res->status_line . "\n";
}

The output file always has these headers, which I want to remove: 
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: private
