in reply to Stripping headers from a HTTP reply

The "code" to which you refer is actually the HTTP Headers:
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 Client-Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2005 20:54:24 GMT Client-Peer: 66.210.81.31:80 Client-Response-Num: 1 Refresh: 0360

Everything following the headers is the "HTTP content". Hence, you can use the content method as davidrw stated. You may also want to read the CPAN documentation for LWP::UserAgent as the sample code illustrates this very point.
