[LUG] Perl and remote files

How do I open a remote HTTP file using Perl?

The ordinary open(HANDLE,"$file"); doesn't work ( -r $file ) reports unable to 
read.

I want to load a page from a separate server (actually execute a search and 
read the results using the query string using a URL from a bookmark) and read 
the file into the script for analysis. I can't open static pages at the 
moment, but I would expect that opening a dynamic page wouldn't differ once 
the process is done.

Anyone with ideas?
