Sounds like you dont have much background in web programming in general. If
you want to request a document from a http server you speak http to the
server. The component used to communicate to the server is called a client.
The technology used to generate the document on the server side is
irrelevant.
With perl, you can use LWP::Simple to do a http GET request to a web server:
$ perl -MLWP::Simple -e 'getprint("http://groups.google.com";);'
<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1"><title>Google Groups</title><style><!--
body,td,a,p,.h{font-family:arial,sans-serif;}
.h{font-size: 20px;} ...
where "..." is the rest of the document that makes the web page at
http://groups.google.com/
