Is there a manual that describes how to get to headers, or are you sugggesting I hack the Curl source?

Wait, why did you pick curl?

This module provides a Perl interface to libcurl. It is not intended to be a standalone module and because of this, the main libcurl documentation should be consulted for API details at http://curl.haxx.se. The documentation you're reading right now only contains the Perl specific details, some sample code and the differences between the C API and the Perl one.

http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/ANDREMAR/WWW-Curl-Simple-0.100181/lib/WWW/Curl/Simple/Request.pm 

    my ($body_ref, $head_ref);
    $self->body(\$body_ref);
    $self->head(\$head_ref);
    open (my $fileb, ">", \$body_ref);
    $curl->setopt(CURLOPT_WRITEDATA,$fileb);
    
    my $h = $self->head;
    open (my $fileh, ">", \$head_ref);
    $curl->setopt(CURLOPT_WRITEHEADER,$fileh);
        
    return $curl;
    
sub response {
    my ($self) = @_;
    my $res = HTTP::Response->parse(${$self->head} . "\r" . ${$self->b
+ody});
    $res->request($self->request);
    $res->content(${$self->body});
    return $res;
}
