in reply to Removing http headers from LWP::Useragent request

Simply use the ->content method instead of ->as_string (See HTTP::Request manpage)

    Thanks! On a related note, is it possible to parse the request prior to printing it to output? There are certain fields that I would like to suppress from from the file.

      sure -- you can store the content in a variable first before printing... also, the headers are available via the ->header() method (See HTTP::Headers docs). 
       my $content = $ua->request($req)->content;
 # munge $content here
 # $content = uc $content;
 print OUT $content;

 my $title = $ua->request($req)->header('Title');
 warn $title;  # 'Empty Result'
