How to visit a web page and print its response?

boeingdream has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I would like to visit a web page, get its http response, and print it. I tried following code, but it's always timeout.

#! /usr/perl/bin
use warnings;
use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
my $page_content = get("http://hq.sinajs.cn/list=sh601006");
unless (defined $page_content) {
    die "doc content is not undef\n";
}
print $page_content,"\n";

Besides, I found that, in LWP::Simple, the function _trivial_http_get() cannot build socket connection to target website and return with undef every time.

my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr => $host,
                                 PeerPort => $port,
                                 Proto    => 'tcp',
                                 Timeout  => 30) || return undef;

$port is 80 by default.

Thank you very much for your time.
