Now that I've switched from Win32::Internet to LWP::UserAgent, the only thing I haven't been able to figure out is how do I bail out of a request when I'm using a sub to process each chunk? In other words, if the user wants to cancel the download, what should the "chunk processing" sub do?
my $res = $ua->request(HTTP::Request->new(GET => "http://" . $server . $page),
sub
{
my($chunk, $res) = @_;
print $chunk;
# HOW DO I BAIL HERE? (PREVENT FURTHER DOWNLOADING)
});
Thanks to everyone who helped me with Win32::Internet and who steered me toward LWP!

I think LWP::UserAgent will accommodate your needs.
From its documentation:
request() " can also take an optional chunk size as the third argument.
This variant can be used to construct "pipe-lined" processing, where
processing of received chunks can begin
before the complete data has arrived."
Cheers,
