Curl is elegantly used from within it. You can either invoke external curl command line or use the curl interface. The latest release of Curl_easy, a Perl interface to curl is available from http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/perl/ (Georg Horn's original version of Curl_easy, supporting curl versions before 7.7 is still available from: http://www.koblenz-net.de/~horn/export/ ) Using the Curl::easy module is just straightforward and works much like using libcurl in a C programm, so please refer to the documentation of libcurl. Have a look at test.pl to get an idea of how to start.
