As you say, that won't work. But if you are on a *NIX box then
install the IO::ALL module. Then you task is as simple as this:
print io->http("www.whatever.com"); #REALLY - that's all!
or assign it to a variable like this:
$html < io->http("www.whatever.com");
It's EVEN EASIER than your pseudo-code. And IO::All does all your
basic error handling for you (so forget about checking dollar-dibble-
dabble)! Easy Easy!
