Thank you!

I've seen that "range" parameter.
Can I read more about it?

I am wondering if I could say that I want to read from byte 1024 to byte
2048... or other ranges.

You need to read the HTTP spec[1] or some other source decribing the HTTP
protocol.
This should work on servers that implement it:

   my $res = $ua->get("http://....";,
                      Range => "bytes=-1024",
                     );

Your welcome!
