I have a script that I need to run which posts to a URL in order to retrieve a value. Encrypted strings are being passed, and decrypted ones are being returned. LWP has proven to be an inefficient (load/response-time) option, and so the next option is Curl. The issue is that no matter what I do, I am unable to suppress the headers from Curl. I need to just get the body of the response, not the headers. I have tried to do $curl->setopt(CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); with no success. Please see the code, and offer suggestions as to what I may do to resolve this issue. 
#! /usr/bin/perl -w

#"real" data changed to protect the guilty
use strict;
use WWW::Curl::Easy;
use URI::Escape;

my $curl = new WWW::Curl::Easy;
my @strings = ("Encrypted String #1", "Encrypted String #2");

foreach my $encrypted (@strings) {
   my $query_string = "?action=decrypt&string=" . uri_escape($encrypte
+d);
   $curl->setopt(CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
   $curl->setopt(CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
   $curl->setopt(CURLOPT_URL, 'https://www.somedomain.com/somescript.p
+hp' . $query_string);

# Starts the actual request
   $curl->perform;
   print "\n=-----------------------------------------=\n";
}

Any thoughts on getting rid of those pesky headers?
