    blind leading the blind here but this has worked for me in the past 
    #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

use LWP::Simple;
use CGI;

my $URL="http://mysite.net/process_cache.php";

my $content = LWP::Simple::get($URL);

print "$content";
    Code (markup):

    Yes that should work, but you don't need the use CGI; statement. You never call any methods from the package, so its not necessary.

    If that doesn't work, this will:

    use WWW::Mechanize;

    my $mech = Mechanize->new();
    my $url = "http://www.yahoo.com";
    $mech->get($url);
    my $content = $mech->content();

    I use Mechanize over LWP because it has some other cool functions (it can submit forms, does wonders for testing checkouts lol).
