.pm is usually for modules which don't usually take arguments in the way you seem to want. So, I'd recommend changing the name to getrequest.pl, or something more descriptive as it sounds like it's doing a lot. I would highly recommend URI as mentioned by space_monk

use URI;
my $url = URI->new( $ARGV[0] || die "Give a URI\n" );
$url->scheme =~ /https?/
  or die "This is not a URL we can use...\n";

print $url, $/,
      $url->host, $/,
      $url->path, $/;

__END__
perl ~/getrequest.pl http://nasa.org/moon

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
