Another way:
using IO::Socket::INET.
This has the advantage to be more flexible.
I don't know what you are looking for in the first 512 bytes, but dependent on what you get you could parse the response and fetch more data if needed.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use IO::Socket::INET;
my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr => 'www.google.de',
PeerPort => 'http(80)',
Proto => 'tcp');
die if ( !$sock );
print $sock "GET http://www.google.de/index.html\n";
my $len = 0;
my $file = '';
while ( defined($sock) && ( my $c = $sock->getc()) && ($len<512)){
print $c,"\n\n";
$len+=length $c;
$file .= $c;
}
print $file;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
