Hi!
Is there a simple way to open a handle to an URL and read the replied content? I would like to convert the following PHP code to PERL, but can't quite find a function which could do the same:
//Specify your URL
$URL = "http://www.exampleurl.com";
//Open a stream in READ mode
$handle = fopen ($URL, "r");
//Read the content of the URL and manipulate it.
$key = str_replace(' ', '%20',fread($handle, 1000000));
It's the openning of the URL-stream and how to read it I would like to know.
Thanks in advance,
/V
Edit: g0n - code tags and formatting

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.
