something called 'urlapi'

llancet has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm using something called 'urlapi', it gives command to the web server as a string, which looks like this:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/Blast.cgi?QUERY=555&DATABASE=nr&HITL
+IST_SIZE=10&FILTER=L&EXPECT=10&FORMAT_TYPE=HTML&PROGRAM=blastn&CLIENT
+=web&SERVICE=plain&NCBI_GI=on&PAGE=Nucleotides&CMD=Put
[download]

The meaning and parsing of the command is not important. What I want to know is: through which perl module, can I send a url like that?
