                my $url = 'http://the.url?param1=val1';
                require HTTP::Request;
                require LWP::UserAgent;
                my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
                my $request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $url);
                my $response = $ua->request($request);
                my $content = $response->content();

$content should contain the web page you downloaded.

you can find an example with method POST including passing parameters.
