Is it possible to shorten this code?

[uacnix]

Hello dearest Monks,

i'm looking for the wisdom of shorthening my code:

use LWP::Simple;
@a = <>;
getprint("http://LeWebsite.com?a=".($a[0])."&b=".($a[2]));

As You have noticed, i'm not interested in the second line, but it is required that the program takes 3 lines of input:

-a digit

-some bollox that You can skip in the program execution, but it will have to bypass/workaround/skip this line

-some more or less random characters, that have to be passed as argument.

I'm just a peasant in PERL, but I heard it's the best language to write shortest code, so i'm trying my luck with It.

Thank You in advance guys.

Update:

-I've checked the codes, and I've been able to use only the choroba's first code and at this place I'm really sorry that I didn't mention the STDIN input and chomp.

I found a workaround for chomp- I do it "serverside", my script on the site checks for newline symbols and replaces them

Anyway, thanks to You, dear Monks, my code is 14 chars shorter, and that's great progress, thank You!

With no higher knowledge, just drop all unnecessary characters:

use LWP::Simple;@a=<>;getprint"http://LeWebsite.com?a=$a[0]&b=$a[2]"

You might need to add chomp to the code, though, to remove newlines from the input:

use LWP::Simple;chomp(@a=<>);getprint"http://LeWebsite.com?a=$a[0]&b=$
+a[2]"

If the values were passed as args instead of STDIN, it would save a few chars.

use LWP::Simple;getprint"http://LeWebsite.com?a=$ARGV[0]&b=$ARGV[2]"

Via STDIN:

chomp(@a=<>);system curl,"http://LeWebsite.com?a=$a[0]&b=$a[2]"

Via args:

system curl,"http://LeWebsite.com?a=$ARGV[0]&b=$ARGV[2]"

Of course, it won't escape any characters that need escaping.
