You can use LWP to do it. There is also a package called Mechanize on CPAN you can use. It is a layer over LWP. You may want to get this book http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perllwp/. Shop around, it's cheaper on Amazon.
There's even a link with examples. http://examples.oreilly.com/perllwp/
This will grab the html from the google homepage.
use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP;
my $browser;
$browser = LWP::UserAgent->new() unless $browser;
my $resp = $browser->get('http://www.google.com');
print "$resp->content\n";

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
