I can't remember if I've ever done this, but here's how I assume it
would work:
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request;
use HTTP::Headers;
$h = new HTTP::Headers;
&h->referer('http://rochester.pm.org');
$r = HTTP::Request->new(
GET => 'http://www.blah.com/x.cgi',
$h );
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$response = $ua->request($r);
