Cgi->Cgi call

If it's simply a GET query, you can use LWP::Simple:

code:

use LWP::Simple;
$result = get("http://www.foo.com/program.cgi?a=b&c=d");
[/code]

If you need to POST, then use the LWP::UserAgent module:

code:
use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$req = new HTTP::Request POST, "http://www.foo.com/program.cgi", [ 'a' => 'b', 'c' => 'd' ];
$result = $ua->request($req)->as_string;
[/code]

The LWP (libwww-perl) bundle can be downloaded from http://search.cpan.org/  because it is NOT standard dist.
