If you're automating your tests, I'd go with something like the Selenium library. I haven't done much Perl for three or four years, so I can only speak from experience that's non-Perl related. We used Selenium (and Cucumber/Webrat, as at the time I was doing RoR) for automated integration testing, testing forms, and TDD/BDD. If it's off the cuff/simple testing, I'd use curl.<br>

for simple web page testing, using curl or wget to fetch the page to<br>
standard output and piping that through grep often is sufficient and<br>
easier to set up than something more purpose-built.<br>
