  The perl library you're thinking of is probably the LWP.  I'll agree
though that quick and dirty is good and since there's more than one
way to do it I offer this as an alternative to wget-- "lynx -source
http://somesite"; or if you'd rather have the html rendered for
you.. "lynx -dump http:/somesite".
