Curl is elegantly used from within it. You can either invoke external curl command line or use the curl interface. Georg Horn's Perl interface to curl is available in the Curl_easy/ subdirectory. 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.
