If you first get a connection and then a connection closed message this
might have to do with the webserver being in a segment with a firewall in
between ... possible ?
Otherwise this could simply tell you that the telnet service is NOT running
hence the webserver might be down ?
Just some guesses, but i figure you're not unaware of those issue, could be
worth mentioning.

Maybe try to send "Host" or "User-Agent" header:
GET / HTTP/1.0
Host: www.some-host.org
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)
Have you considered using LWP or LWP::Simple module?
You can do something like this with them:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use LWP::Simple;
my $Index = get(http://www.some-host.org/);
