in thread download part of remote files

I know that LWP can be used to download files from a remote server, something like: 
$file = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'http://www.server.com/filename.mp3'
+);

[download]
The last 128 bytes of an mp3 contain information about the file such as length, artist, song, etc. I want to download only the last 128 bytes so I can get to this information and store it in a mysql database.

So I guess my question is, what do I replace that line of code with so it only gets the last 128 bytes?
