If you want to behave like a browser, I recommend using WWW::Mechanize. Otherwise, you will have to know what the target page for the form action is, and whether it takes a GET request or a POST request. Then you have to create the POST requests yourself. See HTTP::Request::Common, and use it.

Usually, WWW::Mechanize takes care of all those steps for you, which is why I prefer it.
