Fellow monks,

I am currently using a script to get a list of data from a remote site, and open it for printing. Here is an example:

system("wget -c http://server/data.php");

open DATA, "data.php" or die "Cannot open data\n";
print "data is opened\n";

while (<DATA>) {
    my ($item1, $item2, $item3) = split;
    print "$item1 - $item2 - $item3\n";
}

Now, besides the fact that this is inefficient, it is also insecure. I am _certain_ that there is a module to do what I want without the need for the system function.
Any ideas?
