Roughly:
use strict; use warnings;
use URI::Escape 'uri_escape';
use HTTP::Tiny;
use Try::Tiny;
my $api_key = 'Your Secret Key';
my $email = 'example@example.com';
my $url = 'https://api.zerobounce.net/v1/validate';
my $params = '?apikey=' . $apikey . '&email=' . $email;
my $api_url = uri_escape( $url . $params );
my $ua = HTTP::Tiny->new( timeout => 15 ); # seconds
my $response_string;
my $api_error;
try {
my $res = $ua->get( $api_url );
if ( $res->{'success'} ) {
$response_string = $res->{'content'};
} else {
$api_error = $res->{'status'} . ' ' . $res->{'reason'};
}
} catch {
# Handles exceptions
warn 'Something really bad happened: ' . $_;
};
__END__
See HTTP::Tiny.
I'm not sure that you wanted the response content in your response string; if you really want the entire response you can get it with $res->as_string but you'd have to use a different HTTP library (e.g. LWP::Simple).
Hope this helps!
The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
