in reply to how to read data from a URL

Something like the following should get you going:

use strict;
use warnings;

use LWP::Simple;
my $url = "http://whatev.er";
my $content = get($url);
$content =~ s/ /%20/g;

# An example using WWW::Mechanize and URI::Escape

use strict;

use WWW::Mechanize;
# Create a new mechanize object
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
my $url = 'http://www.exampleurl.com/';
# Associate the mechanize object with a URL
$mech->get($url);
# Print the content of the URL
print $mech->content;

# Load URL::Escape to escape URI's with uri_escape method.
use URI::Escape;
my @links = $mech->links;
foreach my $link (@links) {
    print uri_escape($link->url), "\n";   
}
