I would try the more portable and comprehensive LWP modules. There
is an LWP cookbook pod that comes with and you can start with LWP::Simple
before you get into the more esoteric things it can do.
It's part of the libwww-perl bundle I believe and may be part of
the standard AS distro these days.
One thing you should be doing is checking the result of your calls
like OpenURL to make sure they are succeeding.
