1. You can use wget/curl to load the url:<br>
wget '<a href="http://blablabla" target="_blank">http://blablabla</a>'<br>
<br>
(don't forget the single quotes around the URL)<br>
<br>
2. Use LWP:<br>
<br>
#!/usr/bin/perl<br>
use LWP::Simple;<br>
<br>
my $data = get('<a href="http://blablabla/yourscript.php?yadda" target="_blank">http://blablabla/yourscript.php?yadda</a>') or<br>
die 'Unable to get page';<br>
<br>
