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!
