Fastest way to retrieve content

[Johann Vincent Paul Tagle]

Hi.  I'm an LWP newbie.  I need to know the fastest way to do the following:
1.  Retrieve dynamically generated content from a page.
2.  Parse only the text info.
3.  Send the parsed info to another URL.
The following is my test code for items 1 & 2.  I need to know the most 
efficient way to do it because I'm expecting a lot of transactions.

my $url = URI->new('http://url.somewhere.org/cgiscript');
$url->query_form('param1' => $param1, 'param2' => $param2); #there could 
be as many as 10

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
$ua->timeout(60);   #for future enhancement
my $response = $ua->get($url);
if ($response->is_success)
{
       $content = $response->content();
       $content =~ s/<[^>]*>//gs;     #expecting only very simple text 
so this is ok vs HTML::Parse
        ########## further parsing to be done after
}

For the curious, this is for a middleware I'm making - the parsed 
content is to be sent to different (3rd party) URLs with different 
interface requirements.

Thanks!
Johann
