Are you trying to get a file via HTTP? If so check out the
LWP::lwpwww-5.47 module at CPAN. It will handle and the socket
connections for you and reduce retrieveing a file to "get($URL);".
Note I haven't attempted to use this in a mod_perl setting, but I can't
imagine any reason why it shouldn't work.
