Look at WWW::Mechanize.  It's a superclass of LWP::UserAgent that does 
lots of common stuff for you.

I believe you can do:

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( autocheck=>1 );
$mech->get( $url );
my @links = $mech->find_links( tag => "map" );

It's been a while since I've worked on Mech.  Maybe this is a sign.
